chicken and veg soup

my memories of soup as a child was a packet taken from the cupboard and water added to it and heated on the cooker

so when i moved to algeria i found that nearly everything is done form the beginning even soup

now in my dh familys house they mostly make all different veg with celery leaves but thier is only so much of that you can take

so i have tried different ways of making soup

and todays soup is just veg with the bones from a chicken breast , where i had used up the breast

so what i used for this today was

2 courgettes

i big fresh fennel

4 medium carrots

1 onion

2 big potatoes

2 luft

and the bones from a breast of chicken

all i did was wash all veg peeled and sliced them and placed them in a pot then i added a little salt and black pepper and put the lid on and placed it on a medium heat to draw out the jucies from the veg then i added the bones

once everything was cooked i took the bones out and picked at the bones to remove the little bits of chicken left on them and then placed them back in the pot and i blended it

i hope you enjoy

French Laof

Asalam wa alikum So as you know i`m not really one for baking ... but when a good recipe comes my way i must tell you about it I have had this recipe for a while and never got around to trying it so as i was making my muffin bread i thought let me try this one ... Its a french loaf and so simple and easy 2 cups of water (warm) 2 tbsp sugar 2 tbsp of yeast instant 2 tbsp of salt ... i felt it was a bit too much so i reduced it to 1 2 tbsp of oil (veg) 5 cups of flour mix well and knead dough then allow to rise punch back the dough then place on a tray allow to rise again and place in a hot oven it takes about 20 mins or so and masha`allah what a lovely bread we toasted it and had butter and jam for breakfeast enjoy and let me know how it works out
