It's a collection of recipes that only require a single pot to cook and many are simple but delicious. Here's one of the soups: Chicken & Potato Soup with Bacon from page 51.The soup from this recipe is good, but the bacon isn't great when having it for left overs. I should have cooked the bacon crispier or cut it into tiny bits.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 onion, sliced
- 250 g cooked bacon, chopped
- 2 leeks, sliced
- 2 tbsp flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 800 g potatoes, roughly peeled and chopped
- 200 g skinless chicken breast, chopped
