Chicken and veg Soup

Chicken and veg Soup recipe - Eat well on universal credit

Last night we had a roast Chicken dinner, Nothing new there. We generally cook like your granny did. It's cheap, it's good for us and Buster and it's not supplied in a shed lead of plastic. But sometimes we had leftovers.

What do you do with a small box of cooked Veg and Chicken?

Soup - for a rainy day.

Ingredients:-

1 Stock Cube (Or stock from a previous roast)

Left over bits and bobs (Veg and Chicken in this case)

Method:-

(1) Get the blender off the top of the freezer.

(2) Bring the stock cube (Or real stock if you have it) to the boil.

(3) Smash everything up in the blender.

If the Chicken wisn't previously frozen you can pop your soup directly in the freezer. A few herbs and a bit of fresh ground Black Pepper and you've got a meal for the cost of a Stock Cube. So 5p each maybe?

Bean & Beef Burger

We generally just add Salt & Pepper to our Beef when we make a Monster Burger. But we’ve become fans of Rosecoco Beans recently and thought we’d have a play. Soaked, boiled and roasted they are very versatile. So….

Ingredients:-

100g Rosecoco beans, soaked in water over night
250g Minced Beef
Salad, Tomatoes, sliced Gherkins etc.
Cheese
Gluten free DIY bun
DIY Thousand Island Dressing

Realistically the recipe is more about the Burger than the other fillings, add whatever you fancy.

Burger Method:-

(1) Boil your Rosecoco beans in salted water for 20 minutes and drain.
(2) Add to an oven traywith a little Oil and Salt and roast at 180c until they are crispy.
(3) Set aside to cool on kitchen paper.
(4) Blitz in a food processor to a reasonably fine consistency.
(5) Mix the Bean crumb with your mince by hand.
(6) Form into burgers to suit the shape of your bun.
(7) Grill your burgers and gently flip until cooked through.
(8) Assemble your Monster Burger.

The roasted Beans added a great Peanut taste to the burger and effectively doubled the volume. Because the Beans are high in protein they also work well as a binding agent.
