This is a smooth filling soup which nourishes the stomach and the soul. It still tastes wonderful with or without the chicken - if you're after a meatless version.

1. Place chicken and water in a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for about 12-15 minutes or until chicken is cooked and starts to fall off the bone. Remove chicken thighs, strip meat off the bones, shred thinly and set aside.
2. Place diced potatoes, celery and onion into the chicken liquid. Add the stock. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until potato is soft when pierced with a knife.
3. Add asparagus tips and yoghurt. Puree in batches in blender until smooth. Or use a hand-held stick blender. Just before you want to serve, add the shredded chicken and reheat gently, taking care not to boil as the yoghurt will curdle. Serve soup sprinkled with ground pepper with a roll if you wish.
