Not sure of its source, but my Mum originally made this soup and I got the recipe off her. Its become a family favourite (when I've got the time now days). She squidged it all up with a bamix when I first watched her make it, so I've always done the same - makes a smoother soup with the chicken more incorporated into the soup.
