Hmmm Hmmm ... I was so excited about this recipe that I wanted to blog it straight away, gotta share the love I say... anyway as all mums would know sometimes it takes a few days to get around to things, so here I am finishing the post.
The other day a friend gave me the tastiest soup recipe, which i was super excited that I MADE IT FROM SCRATCH!!... and it was also done in the slow cooker too which is a bonus cause it means more time during the day.
There was about 5-10 mins preparation in the morning and it was practically ready to go by dinner time... this makes me VERY HAPPY.. Thanks to my friend Kim for sharing this with me.. it was a WINNER, the perfect dinner for a chilly night.

So here it is people.. Enjoy
Ingredients:
- Chicken (roughly chopped to cook easier)
- Can of creamed corn
- Some minced Garlic (as much or little as you like, I used 1 & 1/2 teaspoons)
- 2 cubes of Vegetable stock (or 2 cups of liquid - and if using liquid stock and can cut down the water)
- 1-2 cans of water
- 1 egg
- Either Corn Flour or Pasta noodles (for a little thickening)
Method:
Put the chicken, garlic, creamed corn and water into the slow cooker and switch on.....
It just needs as long as it takes for the chicken to cook, I put it on high for approx 4.5 hours... You can set it on low for longer if you prefer.
I added some pasta about 1/2 hour before finishing (they were a little over cooked, so would suggest putting it in just before the end)
About 15 minutes before the end added the egg
Season to your own taste
Once you think its ready, use forks to break up the chicken so its shredded and this will also help to thicken the soup.
I didn't need to use the corn flour because the pasta was enough.
and there you go.. EASY PEASY.. and tasty too...

Yum looks good! Woolworths sells tortilla soup in a packet(it's liquid) and I put three of those with chicken from a roast chicken and a can of corn and let it cook in the slow cooker a few hours. Then we eat it with chips, cheese and sour cream. So good for winter :)
ReplyDeleteOH that sounds great too.. will deff give that one a try... THANK YOU! :-)... I find the best recipes are those tried and tested by friends first...
DeleteLaura!
ReplyDeletei need to get a slow cooker asap!
as for your question, my leggings were from style lately! (stylelately.com)
ps. loooved australia! :)
Oh yes you really do, they are great... Especially for people on the go :-)... a little prep in the morning or around lunch time and at dinner you are practically ready to go.. when i was working (before my little one came along, i could never be bothered cooking after a long day, so used it lots)
DeleteOh Style Lately... i thought so.. thanks.. a good reminder.. i will keep an eye out for my size (they sell out quick in the smaller sizes) .. how do you find the sizing? since i have to convert from Aus to USD sizes i find the S/m/L harder to convert... :-)
So glad you loved AUS.. you guys will have to plan another trip and see more of our beautiful country next time x
oh, and my shirt is from japan! sorry :(
ReplyDeletebut american eagle has some cute things that are similar too :)
Great thank you.. :-)
Deletehey lauz do you have to cook the chicken before putting it in or can it be raw??
ReplyDeleteHey Kim, That is the best part.. you just put it in raw and it cooks in the liquid.. so easy and quick... I also have a chicken enchilada recipe i should pass on also quick to do... xx
