Chicken & Vegie Soup

[maddy]

Had this for dinner tonight  yum thanks Judy.



sorry, steam kept fogging up the pic 
I used 2 carrots, the whole leek and 650g chopped chicken thighs.
I added the chicken in for  15 minutes, like instructed by recipe,  if using the drumsticks.
Added in 3Tbsp. of cornflour with water for last 5 minutes of cooking.

We had this for dinner last night and it was lovely!  Everyone enjoyed it. A great recipe JD, thank you 

I was even able to use the turnip I've had for ages, after receiving it in our weekly organic vegie box.  I've not a huge turnip fan and never no what to do with them.

[judydawn]

I only ever use turnip (and swedes) in soups or casseroles - DH would not be impressed if I served it as a side vegie as he was served them up as a child and hated them. Glad you found a way to use yours Katie.

Just made this.

What a great recipe, really delicious.

Made this for my lunches for the week, but have a feeling the boy hie into this too.

Well done great recipe Judy and good for the budget.

Happy Hally

It certainly is the right weather for soup!

[Halex]

Sure is, DH & DS loved it.

DH said it was one of my best.

DS wants you Judy to come over for a cook off. I told him you would win easy. Also told him all flights were grounded so no chance!LOL

Thanks again, a family fave on a cold winters night. Oh yes and Cobb loaf rose really well, that tasted good too.

This is delicious.  I used thigh fillet too as I am not a fan of drumsticks.  I thought the cooking time might be a bit long, but the meat was tender.  I will definately have this one as a family favourite on these cold winter nights!

THanks for sharing this recipe!

[judydawn]

  I don't know about that Hally, you are going great guns over there. 

Hi amanda68, welcome to the forum.  Glad you enjoyed the soup, it does seem a long time to cook the soup but the soup mix really needs that long. It is versatile in that you can use pretty well any cut of chicken although I wouldn't use the fillet.  What else have you been making, have you only just got your TMX? Pop over to Introduce Yourself and let us all welcome you

Thanks for this recipe Judy.  Made for a very tasty early dinner last night before heading out.  As we had already eaten the batch of rolls I made earlier in the day (!!!) I soaked some rice stick noodles in boiling water and served the soup over these - made for a delightful and filling meal.  Cheers, Lainie

[judydawn]

Great idea Lainie, glad you enjoyed it. Home made rolls do seem to do a disappearing trick don't they That's why I put mine straight into the freezer when they cool down.

Will make this tonight to go as an entree before pizza (ds's pizza is plain jane being failsafe and dairy/soy free).

Although, no chicken, and not venturing out in this awful weather, so I am sure I will miss out on that extra chicken flavor, but should still work out fine though!

This was beautiful JD, made a few adjustments for a failsafe version, which my ds adored. First soup he has actually eaten! He loved dipping the bread in, the joys of a 2yo discovering new things 

[judydawn]

LeeJ, I love 2 year olds and sharing the joys of discovering new foods with them.  I cut up a persimmon for my little almost 3yr old GS the other day to have a try, thinking he wouldn't like it and I would have it all to myself.  Not the case, he ate most of it and then told me I could have a piece too   I think when you tell them they won't like something it works 

[LeeJ]

  I think you are right the JD, there are some things he flat out won't have a bar of, for heavens knows what reason most of time. But if Daddy eats it, it's almost a given that ds will  Seems he's picked up his fathers' dis-taste for 'salad' too though   
It is an adorable age, we are yet to hit 'terrible twos', so enjoying it while it lasts
