ONE POT CHICKEN SOUP MEAL

I took advantage of the $4.00 pack of chicken drumsticks at Woolworths. I bought these to the boil in 1 litre of chicken stock ( $ 2 ) and 2 cups of water . When they were cooked through ( 30 minutes ), I removed the skin after letting the drum sticks cool and removed the flesh from the bone ...setting the (protein) chicken meat aside . I added 400 gm of shredded carrot , 300 gm of sliced celery , 2 onions peeled and chopped to the broth in the pot along with 2 tbs of minced garlic and 1 dsp of curry powder . I then added the chicken drumstick meat and let this simmer over a low heat until the vegetables were tender . The longer the soup sits ( refrigerated ) the more flavoursome it gets .. and the chicken bones provide natural gelatine ...( thickener ) to the stock . Total cost 10 chicken drumsticks $ 4.00 400 gm of shredded carrot $ 3.00 1/2 celery $ 1.50m 2 onions . ( home staple ) 1 lt of stock $ 2 salt / pepper / curry powder to taste .( home staples ) Total $ 10.50
