Thermomix Instructions:

1. Place green leek in TM bowl and chop at speed 5 for 3 seconds
2. Add garlic infused oil and cook at speed 1, reverse, for 8 minutes on Varoma temp. In the mean time, prepare the vegies and the pasta
3. Add the pepper, thyme and seaweed to the bowl
4. Add vegetables and cook at speed 1, reverse, for 2 minutes on Varoma temp. In the mean time, cut up the chicken
5. Lay chicken out on varoma trays, allowing gaps between pieces so steam can circulate
6. Add water and Urban Forager FODMAP Chicken Stock Concentrate to TM bowl and cook at speed 1, reverse, for 17 minutes on Varoma temp.
7. Add pasta to TM bowl and cook at speed 1, reverse, for 8 minutes on Varoma temp.
8. Set the Varoma trays aside (I like to rest them on a plate to catch the juice)
9. Pour the cooked veggie noodle soup into a separate bowl or pot, giving the TM bowl a quick scrape
10. Pop the cooked chicken pieces into the TM bowl and chop at speed 5 for 5 seconds. This should shred the chicken
11. Return the veggie noodle soup mix to the TM bowl
12. Add the extra cup of water and heat at speed 1, reverse, for 8 minutes on 90C
13. Season to taste and serve topped with chopped parsley
