Could I have the recipe for your chicken soup, pretty please?

i just fry some finely chopped onion, garlic, carrot and celery in some Fry Light till soft.....then in goes some chicken stock (about 700ml ) ,a whole chicken breast and some chunks of potato which i simmer gently for about 30 mins...if you use floury potatoes it'll thicken the soup a little bit as it cooks.....i'll add the pasta for the last 6 mins or so (cooking times vary) ...once it's done i cut the chicken into shreds and sprinkle the soup with a bit of parsley and a little bit of parmesan cheese ( one HEA for 2 portions of soup )

hope that helps

p.s. you could also use chicken thighs instead of breast

The recipe is on my blog ( Luh luh loser.: Chocolate cake - 1 syn per slice or 7.5 for the whole cake! ), it really is a nice treat... obviously it doesn't taste quite as good as one-million-calorie-cake but it's the closest thing I've had in ages.

One thing I would suggest that I left out on my blog though - I used frozen raspberries that had been defrosted and all the water that comes out of them makes a really lovely sauce! Drizzle a bit on top and it looks even fancier

Did you make the 30 gingerbread biscuits?

 

[Gettingthinnerbytheday]

We made the ginger bread men yesterday, but made ours into Halloween biscuits I am going to add some icing later, well the kids will anyway!!

i found the mix went really really sticky, don't know where I went wrong, but ended up adding extra flour to the mix.

Did you make the 30 gingerbread biscuits?

I only made 15 as i did 1/2 the recipe.
I needed to roll them thinner, they were a bit dry inside. I also found them not very gingery.

I think there is potential for them, just think i'll do some tweaking and see if i can improve them, thouht i might try and add some stem ginger, or chrystalised ginger. It'll up the syns, but they need something.

I made these too and they were horrible, so much so I chucked them in the bin...my mixture was too sticky too
