It's time to finally kick the last 10 kilos (that I have been trying to loose since having our bubba) in the butt! Over the next few weeks I will be posting some yummy low calorie, low cost recipes that I'll be making to try and keep me on track.
Today's recipe is one that I have been making for years and is perfect for a rainy miserable day like today!
It is Chicken & vegetable soup. The great thing about this recipe is that you can put whatever veggies you want in it and it's thick, so you don't need to have bread or rolls with it.
Ingredients
1 chicken breast
3 potato's
1 sweet potato
1/4 pumpkin
2 carrots
1 onion
1/2 litre liquid chicken stock
1 bag of soup mix lentils
Instructions
1. In a large pot, pour the bag of soup mix lentils and cover with water.
2. Simmer until lentils are soft.
3. Place chicken stock, vegetables & chicken in pot and allow to simmer for 1.5 hours (or until chicken is cooked & vegetables are soft)
4. Remove the chicken and shred into a bowl.
5. Mash vegetables whilst still in pot.
6. Return chicken to the pot & stir.
7. Add salt, pepper or herbs to taste.
My pot of soup made 15 serves and freezes perfectly. So cheap, hearty, healthy and yummy!
