- Place the chicken stock in a large pot. Mix in the chicken thighs, aduki beans, wild rice, onions and garlic. Season with sage, thyme and rosemary. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and cook 1 hour.
- Remove chicken from the pot, shred with two forks and set aside.
- Stir the sweet potato into the pot. Continue cooking about 5 minutes, until sweet potato is slightly tender. Mix in the courgettes and chicory. Continue cooking 15 minutes.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Cook until heated through. Increase the amount of stock if the soup seems too thick.

enjoyable but I think I should have added a little salt, my stock wasn't salty enough to do the job..... - 16 Sep 2011
I made this recipe without the "escarole", because I could not get it where I live, however, the soup was absolutely fabulous without it. My family loved it, even my 4 and 6 year old children gobbled it up. My husband commented that the next time I make it, he would like more meat in it. I used 5 thighs instead of 4 to make make up for the Escarole and he still wanted more meat. None of this soup was thrown out. We ate all of it over 3 days. It's a keeper. - 15 Jul 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
this soup is very good! you can add whatever vegetables you want... aduki or adzuki beans are fantastic, a delicious way of adding more fibre to your diet, and they go so well with the sweet potato flavour! *warning* if you are not used to eating too much fibre, the adzuki beans may sneak up on you ... - 14 Apr 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
