This recipe came about because I had bought 10 very cheap chicken drumsticks, plus had promised I'd bring Rich some soup into the office once I had a flask to bring it in. It possibly wasn't the best soup to take to work in a flask, but it did go down well.I had simply roasted the Drumsticks in my new combination oven for 30 minutes or so, then stripped the best of the meat off them, and put the remains and bones into a large pan of water with some celery leaves, onion, carrot and bay leaves and simmered for a few hours to make a stock. Half the chicken I used a Pasta Bake, saving the other half for this soup.I pretty much did exactly what I did with my Leek and Potato Soup Recipe, only adding Celery and more Carrot than I would normally use, plus the Home-Made Stock, Chicken and Bacon.
This is a simple and healthy dish to make. The sauce is a mix of water and vegetables which makes it taste completely different from all the coconut milk curries.

Originally uploaded by Dewdropdeb. It was recently brought to my attention that there are people who don't know that you can throw a bunch of vegetables in a pot with some water and seasonings and make an incredible soup. It was also brought to my attention, that even after telling these people that fact, they would rather have a recipe! So, this recipe is for those of you
I didn't cook for the adults (me & hubby) yesterday. Kitchen is closed for cleaning. hehehe. But the kids still have to eat. Not cooking rice, soup and all the side dishes. Too much work for just 2 kids.The kids' meal yesterday consist of Macaroni cooked with pork big bone broth and Broccoli and Carrot. Side Dishes are Deep Fried Chicken Drumlets and Seaweed Fish Paste Roll. Not too bad. At least they enjoy it.
