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

La Koka (algerian pizza)

we are one for pizza and this ramdan you can believe that alot of pizza was made and eaten .... but last year i remember my dh coming home and saying i will teach you a new one ...so i said go ahead masha`allah it was delicious ....the amazing thing was their is no cheese on this pizza ...(what i hear you say).... yes no cheese so basically i use the same pizza dough as here then i spread just tomato puree and not the sauce i usually use all over the dough ... then i cut fresh tomatoes in circles and for my dh we take the seeds out as he believes their not good for the stomach ...and i place these around the dough and into the middle .... now what make this pizza it i place sardines that have been salted and the salt remains on it this i open and take the bones out and tear it into little pieces and place aound the pizza when finished place in oven till dough is cooked then take out and brush some oil normal oil over the top and cut and eat ... believe you will love the salt

Pocasi/ split green pea soup

Asalamu alikum Well it sure has been a long time since i posted so i thought let me share this Pocasi recipe with you while i remember This soup is made from split green peas first i wash the peas and then add them to my pot (i used a pressure cooker) i added onion ... garlic..... i diced up carrots ...courgettes...and potato into really small bits and added to the pot i also added black pepper....salt ...cumin...and razel hanut.... fill with water and placed lid on and allowed to cook about 30 to 40 mins in total ... then let the pressure out and open then stir.... if you need more water add and allow to cook towards the end add some tomato puree and allow to thicken up a little .... when i make this i do not use oil and i should say that this type of soup will continue to thicken and even the next day you will need to add more water to thin out ... but masha`allah is a really nice soup
