Leftovers Soup!

Leftovers Soup!


We have a confession to make…. We often cook far too many vegetables and also end up with bits of leftover meat. Most folk would throw these in the bin, but we’re a bit tight like that. So it all ends up in the freezer in boxes. But the freezer is not a bottomless pit.

So yesterday we had a “Soup Making Day” Nothing goes to waste here. I can’t give you exact ingredients for this soup but basically you’ll need the following.

Ingredients:-

Vegetables and meat leftovers from the freezer
2 Stock cubes
1 Wuzzer ( We got ours as a freebie via Amazon when we switched energy suppliers) – That’s a food processor to most folk.

Method:-

(1) Thaw everything you have stored in boxes.
(2) Boil 2 Stock cubes in 500ml of water.
(3) Blitz everything apart from the stock.
(4) Place in a large pan and add enough stock to make a reasonable soup liquidity.
(5) Bring to boil.
(6) If you are not going to eat today allow to cool and freeze in portions.

We have a few verbs and bits an bobs which we are growing in tubs on our balcony, so I dressed the soups up with those, a Gluten free cracker and a bit of grated Cheese. Looks good, tastes better!

Kosher Chicken Kebabs recipe, eat well on universal credit

We’ve learned our lesson with these Jewish recipes. I’m not sure if something is lost in the translation, or if some of the recipe authors are maybe relying on know-how which is not familiar to us? Either way. If the recipe looks and feels wrong to us, it most probably won’t work. So we freestyled this a little……

Ingredients:-

2 Chicken Breasts, cut into cubes
4 slices of Preserved Lemon, DIY from last year for ours
3 Red Onions, quartered
1 Large Onion, chopped
3 large gloves of Garlic, chopped
1 tsp of Paprika
1 tsp of Cumin
Juice of a Lemon
Salt & Pepper to season
Oil to fry and for the marinade
Parsley to garnish

Method:-

(1) Mix the Oil, Chopped Onion, Garlic, Paprika, Cumin, Lemon Juice, Salt & Pepper, to make the Marinade.
(2) Add the cubed Chicken, mix well and pop in the fridge for at least an hour.
(3) If using wooden skewers, soak in water at this stage.
(4) Load the skewers with Chicken alternated with Red Onion and a slice of Preserved Lemon in the middle.
(5) Pour the remain Marinade into a saucepan and reduce over a low heat.
(6) Grill the skewers turning occasionally until the Chicken is cooked.
(7) Pour the reduced Marinade over the Skewers as a sauce.

We served ours with crispy Potato Wedges, Salad and home made Coleslaw.
