BRINGING NEW LIFE TO OLD FOOD - Chicken, Sweet Potato & Veg Soup!

Ola Foodies!

I think we are all guilty (to some extent) when it comes to veg wastage - and as much as it is gratifying to contribute it to your compost heap... giving it a new life in the form of something edible, is (in my opinion) a lot more gratifying - especially as far as the wallet consideration goes anyway haha!

There were a couple of carrots that were starting to look a little sad, some baby spinach that I would probably have thrown out soon if it had not gone into the soup, a handful of tomatoes that were less than firm and one left over chorizo sausage from a pasta dish which I made last week. So I combined all of those with some diced sweet potato, because I always have sweet potatoes in the house and a random pack of chicken fillets which I had floating around in the freezer. Flavoured up with a diced red onion, a couple of bell peppers, some fresh parsley from the garden, a little diced garlic, a dollop of chutney, chicken stock and some seasoning, it was the perfect combination for a great and hearty soup!

I think we can all agree that soup without a little bread and butter feels like an incomplete meal, and because I don’t eat bread it is a sad state of affairs haha - which is I am really looking forward to this meal because we purchased some low carb bread a couple of weeks ago from the market and I popped them into the freezer, so I can just grab slices as and when I have a craving for something on a slice of bread or toast… so this soupy supper was a real treat!

I hope that this video inspires you all to NOT waste the goodies in the fridge that are starting to look less than "perfect" :)

Until next time...

This sounds like a winner!! Especially during the cold Cape Town winters. We don't eat soup often in Mauritius but we did have a lovely chorizo and lentil soup this week with freshly baked bread thanks to my daughter. 😊

That sounds really tasty, and a really good use of aging veggies. I really like soups and stews and yes, especially with a good, proper bread.

Well I am not into making foods (guilty there) but yeah have seen various foods being wasted for various reasons, this way some of the foods might find our way to the stomach ;) Will share this message with some of my family members : )

There is always room for good food.
So strange it is winter there ..so hot here ... tomorrow we should get some relief and rain...has been over 100F here...

I love it because it doesn't waste anything, it's really sad when I get some food damaged, I think about those who need it and don't have it, this soup looks really delicious.
P.S. You're right the soup without a little toast is incomplete!
