With the current frantic pace of life, a huge number of cases fall at a woman both at work and at home. Kitchen, stove, cooking take the lion's share of free time, which, of course, I would like to spend on something else, easier and more interesting, personal. Therefore, every housewife is looking for recipes for such dishes that would be tasty, nutritious and the preparation of which would require a minimum of hours and minutes.
Potato diet soupA truly universal first course is potato soup. Its recipe, or rather recipes, is in the national cuisine of almost every nation. For example, for lunch or dinner, you can cook here such a light and nutritious soup, in which there are very few calories, and there are many useful properties. Calculation of products is given for 1 portion, i.e., increase it by the number of eaters.
Diet Potato Soup
Recipe: peel and boil 2 potatoes (water - 1 cup or a little more). Set aside the broth, and knead the potatoes well or rub through a sieve. Pour in broth and half a glass of milk, salt and boil again. Boil a hard-boiled egg, grind the yolk with a teaspoon of butter and dilute in a hot soup. You can chop and pour protein into it. Serve preferably with croutons of white bread (loaf). Such potato soup (the recipe has been called dietary for good reason) is recommended to be cooked for older people who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract, as well as for young children who are still mastering ordinary, “adult” food.
Potato soup with leek
Another option of a
dietary dish for the first is cream soup. It is cooked in much the same way as described above, only more components are added. For example, in this potato soup recipe recommends putting leeks and carrots. The ingredients are:
- 1 kg of potatoes;
- 2-3 carrots;
- 3-4 stalks of onions;
- 3-4 tablespoons butter;
- 2-3 yolks;
- a glass of whole milk.
Cream is also suitable instead of milk - their fat content is somewhat higher, which means that the soup will also be tastier.
Preparation: first you need to prepare (wash, peel, cut into slices) the onions, grate the carrots on a grater and stew them a little in oil (creamy or vegetable). Pour 5-6 glasses of water into the pan, put sliced or sliced potatoes, add onions with carrots and cook for about half an hour. Salt, put bay leaf, allspice. Then you need to wipe the entire soup mass through a sieve or beat with a blender (you should remove the laurel and pepper). Pour in the milk and boil again. Boil the eggs. Rub yolks with butter, stir in the soup. Serve croutons and crackers for the soup.
Chicken Broth Potato Soup
On
meat broth , a delicious potato
soup is obtained. Chicken recipe is an excellent confirmation of this. Pour the prepared carcass and giblets with 3 liters of cold water and put on gas. In a pan, put a whole head of medium onion and 1-2 carrots, roots (celery, parsley, parsnip - 1 each) sliced in pieces. Be sure to remove the foam during cooking. When the meat is ready (if it begins to separate from the bones or is easily pierced with a fork), remove the chicken. Pull out and onion. Strain the broth. Peel 4-5 potatoes, cut into slices and put in the broth. Fry 1 shredded onion and 2 grated carrots, put in the soup shortly before the potatoes are ready - on the surface of the liquid, delicious yellow circles of fat are formed. Salt, toss seasonings and spices, always allspice. You can fill canned green peas. When the soup is ready, let it stand for a while under the lid. Arrange the meat on plates, pour the soup and serve with mustard and white bread on the table.
Recipe: Potato Meatball Soup
Boiled in the same broth as the previous one. Just cook the prepared meatballs for about 5 minutes separately, and then report to the soup and cook until cooked with potatoes. And, no matter what soup you cook, be sure to sprinkle with herbs - and it looks more appetizing, and the taste is more pleasant.
Bon appetit and good cooking!
