For its maiden voyage I filled a third of it with a mix of chicken bits, a selection of vegetables and some spices, another third with water, then simmered the lot for about five hours.
Result - a stock you could eat with a knife & fork!
Using the stock as a base I've made three soups:
| Sort of Bortsch. Red Vegetables, including a Beetroot |
| Channa Dhal - seen here as thick lentils but it will be a smooth soup as well |
| Pea Soup (with a bit of Mint) |
