A soothingly spiced recipe, Cynthia Shanmugalingam’s Spicy Roast Turkey, Coconut and Rice Soup is a flavour-packed way of using up leftover Christmas turkey but for an equally delicious year-round recipe, swap the turkey for chicken. The British-Sri Lankan chef and restaurateur’s soup features a hit of black pepper for a reviving boost after a busy festive season. Make your own stock if you like, by simmering the leftover turkey (or chicken) carcass with 500ml water, the onions, ginger and ¾tsp salt for 1 hr (adding more liquid if needed), before straining and continuing with the recipe from step 2.
