EASY SOUP RECIPE

I had to prepare some soup for some fishing buddies recently . I had not gone fishing with them ,too cold , but they had advised me they would be dropping in around 10 PM . I thought I might do some soup to warm them up but I looked in the pantry and only found one can . Would have to bulk it up a bit .

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 Can of Campbell’s Chunky Irish Stew Style soup 505 g

  • 3 litres of Beef Stock . I used Campbell’s .

  • 5 Baby Charisma Potatoes peeled and quartered .

  • 4 Shallots . Top and tailed and peeled .

  • 1/2 cup of grated carrot .

  • Hoyts Italian Herb Mix . 2 teaspoons

  • Hoyts Dried chives . 1 teaspoon

  • Tumeric . 1 teaspoon .

  • Mon Tomato Sauce 1 tablespoon .

  • Fresh cracked black pepper to taste .

PREPARATION

  • You will need a stock pot of at least 5 litres and medium sized saucepan .

  • Fill the saucepan with water and bring to the boil . Add the potatoes and shallots .

  • Add the can of soup and the 3 litres of beef stock to the stock pot and put on a low , I mean low , heat and stir thoroughly .

  • When the sauce pan comes to the boil turn heat back and simmer potatoes and shallots for 3 - 4 minutes . You need them to be par boiled .

  • Drain the sauce pan’s contents into a colander and add to the stock pot . Increase the heat on the stock pot to medium low and stir well .

  • Add the carrot , mushrooms .

  • Add the Pasta . Stir well .

  • Add the tablespoon of Mon Tomato Sauce .

  • Add 1 teaspoon of each of the following . Turmeric , Chives

  • Add 2 teaspoons of the Hoyts Italian herb mix .

  • Stir stock pot contents regularly .

  • Add cracked black pepper to taste .

  • If mixture in stock pot looks like boiling turn back the heat . Simmer for around 20 minutes then with a spoon or ladle scoop out a piece of potato . Test it with a skewer or fork . If soft soup is done .

Ladle into soup bowls and serve with buttered toast . Any soup left over can be frozen for a meal in the future .

Cheers
