Hi Jenni - sincere thanks for your response! I adore food and cooking ...... so this taste business is ghastly! lol But one thing I have found are asian soups. I have one I use as my base - and just add different things each time. Hope it's ok if I put it here, but it is fast and so so easy to make and is TASTY. AND..... it's good for the figure!! lol
1 pkt of Continental Thai Red Curry cup of soup
500ml of stock (chicken, vegetable etc) and add two heaped teaspoons of crushed ginger (for the tummy) and one teaspoon of crushed chillie
frozen stir fry veggies
noodles
water to add volume
Just make up the soup base first and it let mine sit for an hour or so for the flavours to release - then add the veggies and noodles in the final 10 mins of cooking and VOILA!
You can use the pkt soup, ginger, chilli and garlic with some fine chopped veggies in little meatballs. (I prefer pork and veal mince) SO tasty and quick to make again. The whole family love both these recipes so you won't be making their lives miserable lol
Thank you Jenni :))
