It has always been a challenge for me to find something healthy but tasty enough for my little girl to have for her meal. Because of this, I try to experiment with recipes so that I don't have to make a separate dish just for her. I actually learned this from the book my SIL gave me, that I can make one simple dish and play it up for the adults.

| Homemade chicken stock |
Since becoming hooked on Food Network again, I wanted to go back to basic -- use homemade chicken stock. I use this for my soup's base and just added a few things to make it really good.
For the adults meal, I added italian sausages to add an oomph! I like how the simple creamy macaroni soup stood out because of the meat added.

To add variety to the soup, I thought of adding vegetables like mushrooms, carrots and corn. I love the earthy and woodsy taste of the mushrooms in the dish.

I paired my bowl of steaming macaroni soup with a warm slice of baguette. I actually didn't finish one slice because the soup was filling enough.
this post makes me hungry! :P
ReplyDeletei usually use the chicken stock to cook the macaroni for a more flavorful soup and sometimes i add coffee creamer aside from evaporated milk :)
i also add coffee creamer on fruit salads, have you tried that? :D
Looks delicious and I'm sure your baby loves it. We are in the same page. My little Sophia is a picker. I'll try this she might love this too.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was living near my college uni, I always get to eat dishes like this. Sadly now that I'm living in a "nicer place" I don't get to eat them anymore :/ unless I cook (but I suck at cooking! T-T)
I always make macaroni soup but never tried putting mushroom on it. I would try it soon.
