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?

Flaskkarre - Swedist Pork Loin recipe, eat well on universal credit

Pork Loin was on offer yesterday so we thought we’d carry on with the Swedish theme.

Ingredients:-

1 Pork Loin
1 Tbsp of Garlic Butter ( Garlic Dairy free Margarine for us)
½ Tsp of Ground Ginger
200ml of Beef Stock
2 Sprigs of Thyme
2 Sprigs of Rosemary (Foraged in this case)
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Smother the Pork in the Garlic Butter.
(2) Rub with the Ground Ginger and season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Place the Pork in a baking tray and pour the Stock around it.
(4) Lay the Thyme and Rosemary over the top and cover with foil.
(5) Place in a pre-heated oven at 160c for 20 minutes or until the Pork is just cooked through.
(6) Remove from the tray and allow to rest before slicing.
(7) Use the Stock from the tray as the foundation for a sauce / gravy.

We served ours with Fried Kate & Chorizo and Hasselback Potatoes. It’s not often that Sue will freely say “That was really good”!
