Today's Cooking

[ysabetwordsmith]

I'm making a crockpot dish, mostly with leftovers:
* half a 1.25 pound package of chicken thighs
* half a small butternut squash (the other half diced and frozen)
* half a sweet onion diced
* 1/2 cup black-eyed peas
* 1 cup corncob broth

I still have more things to add.

EDIT 9/25/26 -- I typed up the recipe.

Sounds good!

How many servings did it yield?

My last "surprise" soup I made yesterday:

1 cup each of whole soybeans and maya coba beans. I put a couple of bay leaves and a whole onion in a quart of water and pressure cooked them ten minutes, halfway done.

Then I added:

1 quart of homemade vegetable broth, no salt.

1.5 lbs boneless and skinless chicken breasts, cut into one inch pieces only 1/4" thick.

Two onions, minced

3/4 of a medium head of cabbage, cut into 1" cubes (approximately)

a can of green beans

a teaspoon each of harissa and cumin

a tablespoon of minced garlic (should've doubled that)

The total volume was rushing toward the max fill line of the instant pot, so I added a pint of water and set it for another ten minutes.

It needed salt, but I add that to the individual servings because adding other spices often cuts the need for salt.

Total yield was eight stew-style pints and a half pint that was closer to soup.

The original plan would've put 300kCal and 34 carbs per pint, but I don't want to recalculate for only one can of green beans instead of two.

Tomorrow's lunch will get a couple dashes of Worcestershire sauce. *G*

Two tonight plus leftovers. That's probably one serving by itself, or two if dumped over rice. I wasn't trying to make a huge amount.

Thanks for the reminder! I added 1/2 teaspoon of coco aminos to my crockpot.

When this bottle is done, I'm switching entirely to mushroom catsup. It's dead easy to make, if a tad expensive in my current budget (two pounds of mushrooms, plus spices yields 1 pint of mushroom catsup, plus the solids to be used in a dish, especially to make gravy in a roast).
