Cbb and I are both down with sore throat (too much snacks me thinks), but we’re testing every two days just to be safe. She’s not the easiest kid when it comes to doing the ART. Tears start streaming even before we insert the swab stick! The whole family can be doing it with her and I’ve honestly memorised ALL the ‘tips to performing an ART on your kid’ already and nothing works. I really don’t geddit. I decided to think of better things by thinking what to cook for dinner. Step one was to picture what I already have in the fridge/freezer/cupboard/storeroom so I don’t have to spend money to order more ingredients while I havent used what I have. And so I remembered I have a pack of no-nitrates no chemicals/preservatives bacon from Jill’s Sausages in my freezer. But since I was going to blog, I couldn’t possibly cook bacon and pasta and call it a day. So since everyone’s not feeling too good, a bowl of comforting bacon potato corn chowder sounds really nice, I think! And here’s how to make it – no flour needed! Best part? It cooks in one pot for incredibly easy washing up. Check out my other soup recipes. Homemade Bacon Potato Corn Chowder Soup – no flour! (budgetpantry.com) Makes 1-2 servings What you need: 800g potatoes (about 4 medium sized, cubed) 2 large yellow onions, chopped 8-10 tbsps corn kernals (I used frozen) 12 slices no-nitrates bacon, sliced into 1-cm pieces 1 can evaporated milk (320-330ml doesn’t matter) 1 litre water 3 tbsps concentrated chicken stock (I used Woh Hup) 1 tbsp garlic powder (or use 3 cloves minced garlic) 1 tsp salt 4-5 sprigs spring onions, divide white and green parts and slice thinly Black pepper Steps: In a large pot on medium heat, cook bacon for 6-8 mins until crisped. No need to add any oil. Once crispy remove bacon pieces and leave the grease in the pot. Add chopped onions and white part of spring onion. Fry for 5 mins until translucent. Add minced garlic (if using this. If using garlic powder, see next step). Cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the corn, potatoes, garlic powder, salt, water and concentrated chicken stock. Bring to boil and lower heat. Simmer until potatoes are fork tender (but not super mushy), about 20 minutes. Turn off the flame. Using a hand-held blender, blend soup until your preferred consistency. I like to leave a few pieces of potato chunks for some bite. Add the evaporated milk, bacon and green part of spring onions and stir through. Finish with a dash of black pepper if you like. Serve with warm crusty bread! ———- Tip: Can you do this without a hand held blender? Yes, if you can transfer the soup to a stand blender, it works too. Can you do this without ANY type of blender? Well yes, but you need to cook the potatoes till they’re mashed and even so, the consistently won’t be as creamy because you’ll get small onion and corn pieces. Not a problem if you don’t mind it though. Let me know how it goes!

]]> Creamy sweet corn soup for kids (with lots of vegetables!) https://www.budgetpantry.com/creamy-sweet-corn-soup/ Thu, 16 Aug 2018 08:49:18 +0000 https://budgetpantry.com/?p=10676 I can’t promise that this tastes like Mos Burger sweet corn soup (because it doesn’t), but I can tell you that this is one pot of nutritious goodness that you want to feed your kids with. No oil, no sugar, no salt, no cream, no flour, no artificial ingredients – just a whole lot of vegetables and natural sweetness. This soup is thickened with potatoes and corn. I used a handheld blender to purée the soup at the end, but you could transfer it to your stand-blender. Buy a handheld blender if you don’t have it.. it will save you so much time! I often cook this for the whole family and add a bit of salt to ours. For an even yummier taste, you can add a tablespoon of butter at the beginning and saute your vegetables before adding water. For this recipe, I simply boiled all the vegetables together and puréed them in the end. Cbb loves having this with macaroni! Creamy sweet corn soup for kids (budgetpantry.com) Serves 4 What you need: 1 sweet corn, sectioned 6 stalks celery, chopped into small chunks 2 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 large carrot, peeled and chopped 1 large yellow onion, peeled and chopped 4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed 2 litres water Sprinkle of garlic powder 1 egg, beaten (optional) Salt to taste (optional) Black pepper (optional)) Steps: Combine all the ingredients in a large pot and fill with water. Bring to boil and then simmer for one hour, covered slightly until stock is done. Add a bit more water during the cooking process if needed. Switch off the flame. Fish out the corn and allow to cool. Break the corn kernels apart with your fingers and add back into the soup (reserve a few kernels as toppings). Purée with a handheld blender till smooth. Turn on the flame again on low heat and add the beaten egg if using. Swirl with a fork or whisk until cooked. Add the salt and black pepper for adults. Garnish with corn kernels before serving. Tip: Serve over pasta, noodles or rice for kids!
