Sunday Soup

With the weather getting colder and colder outside, it is great to get warmed up again with a big bowl of soup after a stroll in the forest. The recipe for this hearty and delicious soup I made this weekend, comes from this cook book.

Sunday Soup
(4 persons)

Ingredients:
2 filets of chicken
100 gr bacon
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 tbsp butter / olive oil
3 tbsp ajvar relish
2 tsp dried thyme
1,5 ltr chicken stock
1 dl wholewheat pasta (macaroni/fusili), unboiled
200 gr cherry tomatoes
1 dl white beans, boiled
1 handfull of haricots verts
50 gr fresh spinach
salt / pepper

1.) Cut the chicken filets and bacon into smaller pieces.
2.) Chop the onion and garlic.
3.) Heat the butter/olive oil in a medium sized cookery pot and fry the chicken, bacon, onion and garlic until golden brown.
4.) Add the ajvar relish and the dried thyme and stir well.
5.) Add the chicken stock and the boiled pasta and let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes.
6.) Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the soup together with the haricots verts, the white beans and the spinach, and let these vegetables get warm.
7.) Add salt and pepper to taste and serve together with some slices of good bread.

PS: I also added other vegetables that were lying around in the fridge, so this is a great way of getting rid of veggie leftovers!

Enjoy!!!
