*Tasty Chicken and Vegetable Soup*
Serves 4 A delicious tummy warming soup from the people at Crazy Jacks! 2 TBS olive oil 1.2 litre of chicken stock 1 leek, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, crushed 1 celery stick, chopped 1 carrot chopped 1 courgette chopped 150 crazy jack soup mix 750g chicken legs Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the leek and cook, stirring occasionally until softened. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the celery, carrots and courgettes. Cook for a few minutes longer. Stir in the soup mix, chicken legs and stock. Bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 1 hour stirring occasionally. You can add some water if it is getting too thick. Remove the chicken legs and then cut the meat from the bones. Chop into bite size pieces and return to the pot. Season to taste and serve. What I did different - Instead of using the vegetables as per the recipe, I used 1/2 a bag of frozen casserole vegetables, which was a mix of swede, turnips, leeks, carrots and onions. It worked beautifully and we had a really delicious soup. It was the equivalent of about 2 1/2 cups of the mix. I also added some seasoning of salt and black pepper and a pinch of dried herbs. Summer Savoury to be exact. |
