I made this soup yesterday. And it was really good. I really didn't expect it to taste the way it did! It came really close to the noodle soup I buy at the local chinese food place!



IT's one pot and really easy to make!


I cup diced onion.
I jalapeno pepper
two shrimp flavored bullion cubes
Three boneless chicken breasts, chopped.
one frozen package mixed veggies.
Two packages of ramen soup mix
water

----------

Take soup pot and put a few tablespoons of oil to heat
Put in onions and jalapeno pepper in to saute'
(Seed and vein the pepper-it will barely be noticeable in the soup-if you like heat add another!)
Add about four quarts of water, the bullion, veggies and chicken - let the water heat up.

Cover and simmer for about 30-40 minutes.

About three minutes before time runs out, add the ramen noodles WITHOUT the flavor packets!

The noodles will absorb water so you can add more water or only add one noodle package. I like the noodles so I added more water and two packets.

---------

When you serve it add a dash of soy for saltiness and you are golden.

The flavor really surprised me and I was pleased at the taste!

With a few additions- can of water chestnuts, shrimp instead of chicken, or an egg in the 'egg drop soup' style- it would be a really good easy soup to make!

Knorr make them-they come in a green and yellow box.

Please let me know how it turns out....You have to watch the water...I guessed as to amounts because that was the first run at it!

In case anyone wants to figure out conversions of meassures for the recipes, see post 78.

PS. Can anyone help me find a thread I made for Conversions of all sorts, including valuta exchange etc. I think I used the word "Useful" in the title.

Karen perhaps?

Can't remember if I've posted this one or not, but it's actually going to be our Sunday night roast. I normally serve it with sorbaise potatoes & steamed vegetables. But any veg with actually do.

Trev’s Maple Beef Fillet with Baked Onions

Ingredients:
1 to 1.5 kilo of beef fillet or whole rump.
12 small onions
Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons of wholegrain mustard
200ml of maple syrup

Gravy:
2 tablespoons of plain flour
½ cup of dry white wine (use something that you would drink. A good excuse to open a bottle in fact)
1 cup of beef stock
Salt & fresh ground black pepper

1) Pre-heat oven to 120C – 150C. Put beef in a large baking dish with onions. Season with salt & pepper. Mix mustard with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup. Spread over beef, to coat well. Pour remaining syrup over onions. Place in oven for about 15 mins, you want to get a crust on the beef. Cover with foil. Bake for 3 hours approx basting every hour. Leave of foil for the last 15 mins. Ovens vary so always check beef whist cooking.
2) Gravy: Mix flour with 3 tablespoons of pan juices. Place in a pan over a low heat. Add wine & stock & stir until thickened. Season with salt & pepper.

Uhmm, that sounds yummy, can you come and cook it for me? You can tell I'm hungry, right?

The recipe is for quite a few people though, but you can always use less of everything.

That will generally feed between 6-8 people, which is my preferred limit with dinner parties
