Bump!

This is my suuuuuuuper easy chicken soup that I sometimes change up ingredients with...but the base is:

4 cups chicken broth or stock
1/2 onion, diced
3 carrots, diced
3-4 stalks of celery, diced
2 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped
about 1 cup cooked chicken
italian seasoning, any other seasoning you want really
cooked noodles/rice/tortellini/couscous/quinoa/whatever grain you want really

I saute up the carrots, celery and garlic with a little olive oil (or cooking spray) for about 5 minutes and add the italian seasoning to the veggies while they are cooking.

Put the veggies into a saucepan or stock pot and add broth. Bring to a boil and then turn heat down to a simmer and add cooked chicken and cook for about 5 more minutes. (I add the pasta/rice/whatever at the end right before serving so it doesn't get mushy).

I love soup this time of year...and it's really filling. Sometimes I will add canned tomatoes or chopped cabbage to the soup too and it's yummy!

I usually make it into 2 to 3 big servings, but it could serve 4 if you have something else with it.

I like to use leftover roast chicken to make an asian broth. Heat a load of chicken stock in the pan, add tamarind paste or thai curry paste, fresh chilli, garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander, fish sauce, lime juice and soy sauce. Add noodles and chicken and some fresh greens like brocoli, pak choi or cabbage... and cook for 3-4 mins. Lovely :-) You can modify this and add whatever you want really. Its good with prawns, leftover beef... you can put mange tout or spring onions in... it's flexible and healthy and very warming with the spices and ginger x

Butternut Squash Soup


Serves 8





2 teaspoons canola oil
2 cups 1-inch slices leeks (white part only; 2 lleeks)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onions (2 ounces)
2 carrots, sliced (8 ounces)
1 green apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch wedges (4 ounces)
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch chunks (2 pounds)
1 sprig fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons kosher salt
7 cups Vegetable Broth or Chicken Stock, plus more if necessary
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
8 teaspoons nonfat plain yogurt
1 green or red apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (4 ounces)
8 sprigs fresh chervil











In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat.


Add the leeks, onions, carrots, apple wedges,


squash, thyme, bay leaf, allspice, cinnamon, and


salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10


minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften.


Add the broth. Bring to a boil over high heat,


reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer,


partially covered, for about 45 minutes, or


until the vegetables are tender. Remove the


thyme sprig and bay leaf and let the soup cool


for 15 minutes.








In a blender or food processor, process the soup


to a smooth consistency. (This may have to be


done in batches.) Return to the pot, stir in the


orange juice concentrate, and reheat gently,


adjusting the consistency by adding more broth


if necessary.








Ladle the soup into heated soup bowls and


garnish each with a teaspoon of yogurt, a couple


of apple slices, and a sprig of chervil.
