This is a real wintry day soup, designed to warm and cheer you up. Most of the ingredients are store cupboard ingredients, and if you don't have one, change it for another. As any home made soup, it will taste better than any shop bought soup, and it takes as long to make as going to the local take away.
For a variation you can add a small can of corn kernels or cooked chicken when adding the rice.
Ingredients for 4:
- 1 large onion, sliced finely
- 150 gr sliced mushrooms
- 1 garlic clove
- cayenne pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp tomato concentrate
- 1 1/2 litre chicken stock
- 200 gr cooked chicken, roughly chopped
- 50 gr rice or vermicelli pasta
- 100 ml cream
Start by stir frying the onion and mushrooms in a little oil, for 6-7 minutes until brown. Add the garlic, cayenne and tomato concentrate. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to the boil.
Add the rice and the cream; let it cook for a further 20 minutes.
Just before serving, add the chicken pieces if using them, and serve hot with crusty bread.
