PUMPKIN SOUP
INGREDIENTS
1/2 of a pumpkin chopped
4 cloves garlic chopped
1 Tbsp curry powder
1 packet Maggi creme of chicken soup
small tub sour cream
1 onion diced
2 cups chicken stock
DIRECTIONS
You can either cook this in a large pot on the stovetop or chuck it all in the slowcooker - either way you can't go wrong (my type of recipe)! I like to do it in the slow cooker - switch it on in the morning and its ready for lunch! Chop pumpking, throw everything together in the slow cooker apart from the sour cream.
Set on low and cook for 3 hours. In the last ten minutes or so stir through the sour cream. My boys like it quite spicy so I am generous with the curry powder, however tweak to your liking! Once done I chuck it inthe blender for a few seconds (feel free to skip this step if you like a more homestyle texture! Yum... now for a bread perfect for dipping in your soup.......
SLOWCOOKER ROSEMARY AND CHIVE BREAD
Super easy no knead bread in the slowcooker! Ok so when I made this I had planned on making dinner rolls. Long story short... too much dough ... small slowcooker...too lazy to wait for half to cook... just squashed that shit in and ended up with a loaf. However a delicious loaf it was! So for this recipe we will go with loaf.... however if you have a decent sized slowcooker unlike me and you want dinner rolls you will get around 6 really decent sized rolls from this recipe. Anyhoo...
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cup warm water
3 1/2 cups flour
3/4 Tbsp yeast
3/4 Tbsp salt
Few Sprigs chopped rosemary
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Melted butter
DIRECTIONS
Mix water, salt and yeast. Combine yeast mixture with flour, rosemary and chives. Cover dough for an hour or so or until it has approximately doubled in size. Punch down and shape into a loaf.
Line slowcooker and let cook for around 1 1/2 hours. Once its done brush with butter and pop it under the grill to brown for a couple of minutes. How easy is that! Now go dip it in your pumpkin soup :)
