They were offering a latte and a bowl of soup for R45 and it seemed like just the thing to help me along :) The soup turned out to be the most delicious creamy chicken delight and I just had to recreate it at home.
From lounge to unfitted kitchen |
Today my little camp stove made me glad by producing an almost duplicate of the soup...here's what I did:
-Brown 4 chicken thighs in a little olive oil
-Add 3 chopped shallots, 4 sticks of finely chopped celery, 3 grated carrots, 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic and brown.
-Add 1 litre of chicken stock
Leave to simmer until chicken cooked through. (30 - 40 mins)
-Remove chicken and take the meat off the bones and put the meat back in the pot.
-Add 250ml cream and 250ml milk. Mix in 2 heaped tablespoons of flour into the milk first.
Allow to come to a boil and thicken slightly, add salt and pepper.
Just delicious!

Your soup looks delicious! I can very much relate to the headache of having building work done - we had to move out for 4 weeks to get our kitchen/diner and hall done and it's still not finished :-(. I hope you will have your home back soon! Kirsten
I'm going to try that soup to tonight, it looks delicious! Your'e right about mummy meltdowns, we all have them at times.
Thanks, Kirsten and Lynn, glad to know that what I am feeling is perfectly normal!
