Chicken noodle soup

This is very very easy to make and takes amazingly little time.

Leek - 1 to 2 (sliced fine)
You may use 1 onion and Spring onions instead of the leek
Garlic - 2to 3 cloves peeled and crushed
Tomato - 1 large (deseeded and diced)
Turmeric - a pinch
Chilli powder - 1 tsp
Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp or more to taste
Chicken - 150 gms(cubed/ dice)
Chicken stock cubes - 2(or fresh/frozen chicken stock)
Sausage - 2 (or more)(sliced)
Noodles - 1 packet (I used egg hakka noodled)
Salt - to taste
Soy sauce - 1 tsp

Heat a thick bottomed vessel, saute the leek/onion/spring onion...toss in the garlic and add the chicken, saute for 2 minutes. Now add the tomatoes, turmeric, chilli powder and close with a lid to let the tomato cook through. If the stock is liquid or frozen, add it or add a glass of water and the chicken stock cubes..
Let the soup boil. Now add the noodles and and the sliced sausages. finally add the soy sauce, salt to taste and pepper powder.

If you prefer, beat an egg and add it to the boiling soup while stirring constantly. Have it hot and life will seem very beautiful at that moment...:)

The Versatile Burger Bun

This is one instance where there was not much of cooking involved, but still, the satisfaction of the end product was just the same.

Some days, it is just difficult to muster the energy to pull together a meal, and yet there are days whe I do not want to reach for the phone to order take-away.

When there are fresh burger buns available , putting together a juicy sandwich is just a matter of minutes.

I used chicken nuggets instead of burger.

Sliced fresh tomatoes
Would have loved some lettuce
A slice of cheese (optional)

Some relish, a dollop of Thousand Island dressing and tomato ketchup....

Slightly messy, but great comfort food....

Absolute satisfaction guaranteed!!!!
