#14 chicken soup

~10 total cups stock (if the 6 cups of homemade stock tastes like...water...(apparently stock is not as easy as recipe #11 says) I recommend adding 4 cups boxed/canned chicken stock, a few shakes of garlic powder/onion powder/italian seasoning and a lot of salt)

2-3 carrots
1 onion
1.5 cups uncooked pasta
remaining chicken from roasted chicken (1-2 cups shredded)

Bring stock to a boil, add carrots and onion (taste/reseason stock, it will taste fairly watery, that's ok, when you add the chicken it will be fine), add chicken and pasta, serve when pasta is cooked.

Additionally, if you have pesto on hand, add a spoonful to your serving.

#12 shiitake miso soup

1 tbsp canola oil
1/3 lb shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, thinly sliced
1 tbsp freshly ground ginger
1 tsp soy sauce
4 cups water
5 green onions
1 carrot
a few tbsp miso (I use red miso), to taste
1 potato (diced small)

Heat oil in saucepan, add mushrooms, ginger and soy sauce and cook until mushrooms are browned on edges (5 mins). Add water, green onion, potato and carrot, cook until potato is done (~10 mins), add miso paste (I didn't measure, maybe 3+ tbsps), stir until all miso dissolves and serve.

#11 chicken stock

1 carcass from 1 roasted chicken
1 carrot
peppercorns

Add cold water to cover chicken, add carrot and peppercorns, boil for 3-4 hours. Let cool, remove any remaining meat from bones. Skim fat off the top of the stock.

#10 pesto

2-3 cups basil (my garden is now depleted)
olive oil
few tbsps parmesan cheese

Add basil and parm cheese to food processor. Blend, adding enough olive oil to make a paste.

#9 roast chicken

1 3-4 lb chicken
salt/pepper

Rinse chicken, salt and pepper the outside, roast at 425C 30 mins, reduce to 375C and cook until thermometer reads 185C (~1.5 hrs)

#8 peanut butter cookies

1 cup unsweetened peanut butter (If using normal peanut butter you can probably omit brown sugar)
1/4 cup brown sugar (more if you want them sweeter)
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Mix peanut butter, brown sugar, baking powder together. When combined add the egg. Mix, add chocolate chips, form into balls and bake at 325C for 9 mins.
