This is a meal with a mix of a little of this and that! I always have chicken soup in the freezer (broth, veggies and chicken). I wanted to spice it up: I added one cup of dry lentils (simmer on medium for thirty minutes) Then added a bag of fresh spinach (simmer for three minutes) I added leftover smoked gouda and fresh mozzarella from a dinner party (I had cubed before packing in freezer). salt, fresh ground pepper and red chili flakes to taste! Today, it’s lunch with my interns! Serve with your favorite crusty bread! a presto, maria I love adding leftovers especially soup to other dishes. I’m visiting my folks and the leftover chicken soup from Monday was used for another variation: lentil-chicken soup. Today was the perfect day for soup – after shovelling snow, something warm like soup was perfect! My mother prepared lentils – dry lentils (boiled in salted water for 30 minutes). She drained the lentils and added to the leftover chicken soup from Monday. The chicken soup had small cuts of carrots, onion and celery. Option: adding your favorite rice or pasta is also a nice change. Don’t be afraid to add leftovers to something new! a presto, maria
Pantry + Freezer = your best friend when you don’t have time! I’ve had one of those week! Didn’t have time to cook or time to go out! Getting ready with the book launch and lots to do! Here’s to leftovers and being mindful to freeze them to help you out in the kitchen. ps – I don’t eat cereal for dinner! I always keep a few containers of chicken soup. Here’s how I made it a little different: Serves 4 While the soup was coming back to life, I added a can of lentils , a pinch of red chili flakes and read to serve! Serve with a nice glass a red wine, a little crusty italian bread and a piece of pecorino cheese….. and my headache just did an “exit stage left”. Quick and easy…….I just got my second wind…..back to work! |
