Fool them once with a savoury crumble that looks just like apple. Fool them twice because there are parsnips and turnips in this dish – but the flavours are really mellow, so the kids won't complain. Serve with teacups of warm Beef Tea, otherwise known as beef broth.

In same Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat; fry onion, celery, salt, thyme and pepper, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until softened and light golden. Stir in reserved liquid, chicken and vegetables; bring to boil.
