Chicken soup

Building on the experiences noticed at reference 1, today saw a fine chicken soup.

Take vegetables - mashed potato, parsnips, carrots and cabbage - left over from lunch and blenderise them in around 2 pints of water. Add chicken noodle soup powder. Bring to boil and reduce heat to simmer.

The soup should be opaque at this point, but not too thick. Adjust the water content to taste.

Add some chopped mushroom stalks from eight champignons de paris (on special at Waitrose).

Chop the two grilled turkey slices (also on special) left over from lunch and add them.

Add the mushroom caps, chopped into two or three pieces according to size.

Simmer for a further couple of minutes and serve.

Very successful it was too, with the vegetables nicely toning down the MSG flavour from the packet soup. Additional fun to be had playing spot the difference between the chopped grilled turkey from the lunch and the cubed dried chicken from the packet.
