Chicken noodle soup

Since I've been under the weather for nearly a week now

with headcolds, sneezing, and echo in right ear which, led

me to partial deaf coz I can't hear properly..

I wish it pops.. :(

Anyway, I decided to make this chicken noodle soup

from the leftover chicken soup..

Hope it helps though..

so far it seems to be working..

just needed more rest time I reckon..

Enjoy!!

Noodle soup with a Twist

If you are feeling ill (like me, right now), and all you can eat is just soup.. here is an idea to spice up your soup..

Mushroom Noodle soup

Ingredients:

1 can cream of mushroom
4 medium size shitake mushrooms (sliced)
2 and half inch daikon radish (peeled skin and julienne sliced)
some spinach (optional)
dice onions
chopped garlic
2 tbsp chilli paste
1 tsp ginger
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups of water
a handful beef cut into cube-like
pasta (spagetti and macaroni)

Methods:

Saute the onions, garlic, chilli paste, ginger and salt and pepper for few seconds.
Then add the water and beef. Let it cook until it boils
Once boil, add pasta and 3 tbsp cream of mushroom.. Stir and let it boil and cook.

After that add the rest of the vegetables and let the soup boil.. Once boil, add the balance of cream of mushroom and stir gently at low heat and let the soup boil until the pastas are cooked.

Once everything cook, you can enjoy your soup!!!

Have a great soupy day y'all!!

Mini Pot-pie

I decided to turn leftover cream soup into mini potpie for me. I like to turn most leftover into something interesting that I can eat rather than throwing them away if they have not turn bad yet. I bought the mini pot pie pans from Harris Teteer, and decided that I could make the potpie for lunch tomorrow to bring to work.

What I did to the leftover? I added beef to the cream soup so that my pie has that meaty taste and would taste like a pie rather than plain soup.. lol

Well, y'all have a wonderful weekday and enjoy!!

If you're under the weather...

I've been under the weather for the past few days, I woke up with very sore throat and my whole body aches.. This is the time when I wish for someone.. Anyway, today I decided to go to WF Market  to get spinach but they are out of it. So, I got me green kale. Well, they do have spinach which was in the box, but am not so keen of spinach in the box today..

Then I got these meds for my sore throat and hopefully, it would help to ease the soreness of my throat early morning... I reckon it's winter's cold.. change of season my immune system tend to go a little bit off..

Got home.. I started to prep for my soup: Vegetable Beef soup...

Ingredients:

2 stalks Green Kale (coarsely cut)
handful shitake mushrooms (fresh & cut coarsely)
2 brussels sprouts (diced)
1/4  Red bellpepper (diced)
onions & garlic (chopped & sliced)
2 tbsp chilli paste
1 tsp ginger powder or fresh ginger
cooked beef (cut into cubes)
1 vegetable broth cubes
Salt & pepper to taste

Rice Vermicelli Noodles (Elephant brand & Wei-wei brand) (soak in hot water for 1 minute)



Vegetable Beef Noodle Soup

 As per normal cooking on the soup, saute the onions, ginger, chilli paste in the wok for one minute. Add salt and pepper to taste. Then add the water from the mushroom and pour the beef into the wok. Cooked for a few minutes or until the beef is tender.

Once tender, add the rest of the vegetables into the wok. Let it cook for a few minutes until the veges are tender and blanch.. Then you're ready to serve it with rice or noodles.. Today, I served mine with noodles because I just need it for am coming down with cold.

As am not feeling well, I like to watch my bunnies.. as they like to entertain me with their muse last night.. Aren't they adorable sitting in their litter box together.. very cozy indeed...!!! :D

Spagetti Soup

What to do if you have leftover soup? Make it into spagetti soup!!! ... Yes, I had this chicken soup leftover today, no more meat in it, so I decided to add beef cubes and cooked the soup with the beef until the beef is tender. Once tender, I added more spices like the chilli paste to give it a little bit of hotness, and I added a dash of Mrs. Dash and black pepper, and two stalks of chard. I tear the chard and dumped it into the boiling soup.. Wella...

Isn't that look delicious??!! Sometimes, when you have leftovers at home, one has to decide to either throw it away or being creative and make it into something different, but taste really delish..

This was my dinner early today with sourdough bread that my bf bought a week ago. I refrigerated it, and it still good to be eaten today.. Slowly, most of the breads are about gone.. I also added taboule for dinner.. For cold days, it's good to eat hot soup.. :)

Enjoy!!

Vegetable Fish Curry

This is my dinner dish for tonight. I'll be eating this curry with Basmati rice and cucumber sauce and not forgetting my homemade kimchi... Care for some?? ;)

Anyway, I cooked the curry separate from the fish. I marinated the fish with tandoori paste I bought at the Indian market yesterday!!.. Then I fried the fish for few minutes.. After that, I dished out the curry over the fried fish because I didn't like the smell of fish in my curry..

Enjoy y'all!!

Beef Vegetable Soup

This soup is suitable for persons who are sick or after surgery. For muslims, please make sure that the canned soup has a 'U' demarkation, and read the ingredients on the can to be sure that it does not contain beef or chicken broth unless the canned soup has 'halal' demarkation on it. Since this vegetable soup has a high content of salt, I suggest that Wheat Thins Crackers which has only 70g of salt be used.

Beef Vegetables so...
