So, life has been a little busy on the west coast. Which means less time devoted to our big cook. Thus, the less glamorous meals like the ones posted here. Who needs glamour!? Here are a couple of the meals that can be made in bulk before your week begins.
The first is the:
--------------------------------------
Chicken Rice Soup w. Veggies.
--------------------------------------
Chicken Bones
Rice
Assorted Veggies
Remember that chicken carcass you saved from roasting? Well, bust it out, put it in a big stock pot, cover it with water, throw in a couple onions (skin on!, yes, skin on!), big chunk of skinned ginger and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile work on the following:
a) boil up some chicken thighs or breasts and when they are done, shred them up to put in your soup later.
b) cut up carrots, celery, potatoes, and whatever else you want in your soup.
After the soup comes to a boil, let it simmer for a few hours until it is reduced some.
Strain and then add your rice (cup or cup and a half), boil again and then simmer and cover for 45 minutes or so.
Add veggies and shredded chicken.
