Thread: Chitty's Wild Garlic, Sweet Potato, Chicken and Vegetable Soup

Picked some wild garlic yesterday and was wondering what to do with it.

Answer - Create a healthy, tasty, nutritious soup.

The ingredients..



Firstly bosh the chicken in the pot, then start preparing the veggies.






Separate and bone from the chicken for the mut naturally, that concoction can go in Piles dogs dinner thread later

TBC

Bleedin' 'ell!!

That tasted as bad as it looks, even the dog turned his nose up at it

I think it looks good, Chitty. A nice bit of bread to dip into it and you're sorted. I bet you'd scoff it all down after your climbing walk in Wales.

Get into it like a car boot.

Looks like you're short of bowls.

What did Rover eat out of?

Great pix and the veggie alphabet

Looks quite tasty.. any spices included?

My grandmother used to cook homemade chicken soup all the time.. miss that soup.

Looks fine to me mate.

What was it missing regarding taste?

I would guess its badly under-flavoured. Not really enough chicken there to get a good broth. Probably would have benefited from throwing a stock cube in on top. Plus some herbs would have packed a bit more punch (tarragon maybe). The addition of celery adds a good flavour also.

I added a chicken stock cube and some pepper.

Was hoping to blend the soup up but my blender died.

I found the sweet potato made the soup to sweet , just my personal taste.

Love your cooking threads chitty
Keep it up

Well, this just triggered my appetite even more.

Got a nice Welsh Rarebit thread coming up soon, will leave it till Dills guts gone.
Wouldn't want responsibility for the wheel falling off the diet wagon.

My missus is working on some pickled veggies at the moment and I wonder how these products would work with soups and other braised meat meals.

Has anyone had experience cooking with pickled stuff?
