Soups and stews please

If you roast a chicken fill the carcase with carrot onion and potatoes.
It keeps the meat moist, roast breast side down then turn over to brown the top before serving.
Once the carcase is left, drop it in some water to cover, add a stock cube if you want and simmer with those veggies still in the chicken.
It makes a great stock.
Potatoes ,Onion, carrot and celery, seasoned to taste makes a great veg stock.
If you can find shin beef if cooked long and slow it really is very tasty and the long cooking tenderises it.

So true! For years, I have started chopping onion an garlic while I thought about what to make for tea...only to discover that onion in everything may well have been part of my growing trouble of increasing my blood sugar! Fortunately, I can still have a little, so now I chop a half o a quarter onion while I decide what to make.

Thank you, Male! I should try that come spring! (It's almost mid-winter here at the moment. A little cool and dark for starting seeds.)

It never occurred to me that it may not be spring in May somewhere

I made a very good soup for lunch today, celeriac and leek. It was really filling and delicious, plus very low carb.
just 1 celeriac and 2 leeks sautéed in butter and oil for ten mins until soft, then add a litre of water with a chicken stockpot, a white wine stockpot, s&p and cook for 20 mins then blend.
I was going to add cream at the end but it didn’t need it
