1. Heat a sauté pan until medium heat, then add the oil and butter and when just melted, add the thyme and crushed garlic and sweat for one minute.
2. Add the onion, carrot, celery and fennel and cook for five minutes until just softened but not coloured at all.
3. Mix in the stock and bring up to the boil, then simmer gently for 10 minutes.
4. Add the macaroni and return to a simmer, then add the potato and cook for another 10 minutes – by now all the vegetables and pasta should be nearly cooked.
5. Add the courgette and tomatoes and simmer while you remove the skin from the chicken, debone and cut the meat into 5mm/¼” dice.
6. Add the chicken to the soup and heat through, then season to taste and stir in the parsley. Serve with the grated parmesan.
