Mix together and marinade for 2 hours. If you are using cooked chicken, place on an oven tray and cook for 20 minutes at 200c. If you are cooking from raw, cook in the oven at 180c for 20-30 minutes, turning over regularly. Leave to cool, then pick the meat off the bone and flake, keeping any bone or skin to add to the stock.

The Soup

Heat a large pan on a medium heat. Add the oil, then butter and once melted (not brown) add the carrots, celery, onion, spices, thyme and bay, cooking on a medium heat with the lid on so the vegetables sweat in the steam, making sure not to colour. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring now and again, then add the rest of the vegetables, salt and pepper, cooking for 2-3 minutes. Add the split peas and the stock, turning the heat down, cooking for 15-20 minutes with the lid on at a slow simmer. Add the cream, the roast chicken meat and simmer for 2 minutes before adding the herbs to finish.
