Another tasty recipe

I still haven't bought any more food since my shopping trip last week, apart from a bottle of milk (as expected).

For tonight, I will be serving white borsch and chicken.
For soup you need:
 a packet of white borsch- get it from any Polish shop - I just keep some indoors handy, 1 dry mushroom cup (if you have one, but don't worry, if you don't), 2 small cubed potatoes, a few pieces of bacon or any meat (whatever you have, it can be a piece of sausage, a chicken wing or anything that has to be used up). Sprinkle the content of the packet into a pot filled with cold water. (I usually do it via a colander, as to avoid lumps building). Stir it properly, add potatoes, bacon bits, mushroom and bring to boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. 1 packet serves 4.

For the main dish: Defrost the rest of the chicken, cut it into smaller chunks, marinate in any sauce you have at home. Simmer it on a low gas. Add any vegetable you have left in the fridge. As I had 1 carrot, I cut it into pieces and added it to the saucepan. I also had a few celery stems, so I picked two, cut them into small pieces (after washing) and added them as well. Simmer the chicken for half an hour. Serve hot with rice. (To keep expenses down, use plain rice. Boil it in water with a pinch of salt).
As a salad I suggest any fruit you have that needs eating. In my house, it will be kiwi- bought reduced, but still edible. Enjoy!
