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
