Chicken Corn Noodle Soup that kids will love
Ready in no time, this chicken and corn soup is perfect for weeknights. Cheating? We use young milk corn, cut the meat finely and use instant noodles! This makes preparing a fall meal in less than 15 minutes! Here are the ingredients you’ll need to test it out:
about 500g fresh sweetcorn seeds straight from the cob (the number of cobs needed varies greatly according to size, but usually 2 large or 3 small ones are enough)
750 ml (3 cups) chicken stock
400 g chicken breast, finely chopped
2 packets of instant noodles
3-4 finely chopped green shallots, including 1 for serving
Pour the chicken stock into a large pot, add the chicken and bring to a boil. Skim if necessary, add corn and cook over moderate heat for about 10 minutes.
Add the finely chopped shallot greens, cook for 1 minute and stir in the broken instant noodles without the flavor packet. Stir well and reduce heat. Simmer for another 3 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the noodles are tender. Divide the soup between 4 bowls and serve with additional shallots.
A gastronomic experience thanks to the spaghetti Aglio e Olio with mushrooms
Originating from classic Italian cuisine, the spaghetti Aglio e Olio recipe is among the simplest, fastest and tastiest at the same time! Delight her with a bouquet of sauteed wild mushrooms and she can quietly become the fall star of a 5-star restaurant! Of course, due to lack of chanterelles, chanterelles, and oysters, among others, a few mushrooms from the corner store also work.
250 grams of spaghetti
⅓ cup olive oil, divided
200 grams of mixed wild mushrooms (or cleaned and chopped porcini mushrooms)
7-8 finely chopped garlic cloves
1 teaspoon crushed chilies
1 ½ teaspoons chopped parsley
4 tablespoons grated parmesan
pepper and salt to taste
Cook spaghetti in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Set aside a cup of the cooking water before draining the pasta. Meanwhile, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and add the mushrooms. Fry over medium-high heat for a few minutes or until browned on all sides. Remove the mushrooms.
In the same pan, add the remaining olive oil and garlic. Cook on low heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Add the hot pepper, the spaghetti cooking water, half a teaspoon of salt and reduce the heat. Let it boil for about 2-3 minutes and add some freshly ground black pepper.
Add the cooked spaghetti, mushrooms, finely chopped parsley. Turn off the heat and stir well until the sauce coats the pasta. Garnish with grated parmesan cheese and serve hot.
Squash Risotto: A Super Cozy Fall Meal in Under 15 Minutes
We just couldn’t talk about fall recipes without mentioning the most iconic produce of the season… In fact, it’s not just one produce, but an entire family of pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins, and pumpkins! In our case, we will use a type of Butternut squash called Butternut, which can be easily found in the market during October and November. The real trick to this dish is that you use instant rice that cooks in 2-3 minutes!
15 g of butter
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 finely chopped onion
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
6 mushrooms, cleaned and chopped
1 1/2 cups instant rice (cook time 2-3 minutes)
1 cup butternut squash, diced
about 3 cups hot chicken or vegetable broth
1⁄2 cup grated Parmesan
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1⁄2 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot or deep frying pan. Gently fry the onion and garlic. Stir in the pumpkin and mushrooms and sauté over high heat for a few minutes. Pour in 1-1.5 cups of the hot broth, lower the heat and simmer for about ten minutes.
Add the rice, stir and add 1 more cup of hot stock. Cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. If necessary, add a few more tablespoons of broth. Make sure the liquid is almost completely absorbed and turn off the heat. Serve hot with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
