Getting creative in the kitchen

Today I felt like Greek chicken soup. But I didn't want to spend lots of money and use up things in the pantry instead 

This is the traditional recipe

I bought some chicken mince and some turkey mince that was on special 

And combined them with a few eggs, chicken noodle soup mix and some rice

 

Then I made up some stock using stock powder I had in the pantry and when it was boiling I added the mince mixture 

Using two spoons and making little croquet shapes 

Had to do this bit slowly and let the water come back up to boil 

 

I also added more rice about a cup full and cooked it until the rice was done

Then I did the egg and lemon mix once it cooled 

I've just had some and it was soooo yummy!

Might keep that one in the rotation I think 

When the mince is on special I get some more and freeze it for when ever I feel like it 

Just a little different than using the chicken pieces 

How about you. Have I inspired you to get creative?

See ya xxx
