    New Way To Use Bagged Salads

    There was a chicken carcass in the fridge, so immediately popped into the pot and I made some beautiful chicken stock
    There was enough to put in the freezer for later and another litre or so to make soup for lunch.
    Except for an onion and 2 sad looking carrots, I was a little low on soup vege
    BUT  also in the fridge was a bag of an Asian Chopped Salad, why don't I use that, after all a 
    really nice mix of vege plus... there is a sesame ginger dressing and some croutony crunchy things...perfect for lunch I thought




    Ingredients:
    2 tbs olive oil
    1 med onion finely chopped
    2 small carrots grated
    1 bag Asian Vege with little bag croutony things
    1 litre chicken stock
    Sesame and ginger dressing

    In a pot heat the olive oil and add the chopped onions
    Cook till soft then add grated carrot
    Stir and season with some salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Add the Asian Vege and stir plus a little more seasoning 
    when soft add the chicken stock
    Bring to the boil and simmer for about 20-30 minutes

    Before serving add the Sesame and Ginger dressing

    Into your soup bowl, and maybe a few crunchy "croutony" things on the top 
    Plus some chopped chives for colour 

    Yum
    Perfect lunch
    Will do that again
