Welchy’s Roasted Tomato Soup
Welchy knows how to make soups that will warm any winter’s day. Her roasted tomato and garlic soup is a prime example and, of course, is so easy to make.
She writes:
Roast a good amount of tomatoes for about an hour, set aside.
Saute some diced garlic and onion, then add them and the tomatoes to a stock pot. Add enough vegetable stock to cover everything and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add some paprika, all spice, salt and pepper. Then blitz to the consistency you like.
Serve with what you love. In this case some cream topped with pork rind for a low carb option.
Love Welchy.

PK’s Slow Cooked Rabbit Soup
This one is just for Dad because my kids are big into Peter Rabbit at the moment. 🙂 Rabbit soup is just as easy to make as chicken soup, especially if you use a slow cooker.
Note: Rabbit is a lean meat that makes for a very light healthy soup.
Simply
- Cut up your rabbit like so.
- Chop up your vegetables, I used onion, celery, carrot, green beans and coriander roots.
- Add some bay leaves, a sprig of thyme and a hearty slash of dry white wine.
- Throw everything into your slow cooker (medium heat) with 4 cups rabbit stock (any stock will do actually) and 4 cups water.
- Add some duck fat if you like as it helps keep the meat moist.
- Wait for 4 – 6 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Pull the meat off the bones (turn the latter into bone meal for a great soil improver), returning it to the slow cooker.
Serving
It just needs a bowl, some cracked pepper and crusty bread drowned in butter. 🙂
Enjoy,
PK

Dried Onions
A great way to preserve your onion crop (or in my case a bunch of onions on special) is to dice them and dry them. I quite often freeze onion slices too but I found both my cupboard and freezer devoid of onions 🙂 .
Note: This method is great for drying garlic too (see Dried Garlic).
Simply dice your onions. I am using brown ones here.
Dry them in a dehydrator until they have lost all of their water content. It was humid and rained a bit the day I did it so they took overnight.
On a sunny day I leave the trays out in the sunshine with some netting on, using the dehydrator only at night. It made my shed smell amazing.
Store them in a glass container with a good seal and you will have onions any time you need them.
Use them as is in soups and stews etc. For curries and stir fries etc you will want to re-hydrate them with a bit of warm water first.
Enjoy,
PK

PK’s Slow Cooker Whole Chicken
This mouth-watering dish is designed to be super thrifty and dead easy to boot. I managed to use some old tired veggies and to get a free-range chook on special. I am also happy to say it took longer to eat the dish than it did to prepare it.
I simply took a whole chicken, patted it dry and stuffed it with a whole lemon. I then rubbed a very generous amount of garlic salt, celery salt, ground black pepper and parsley flakes into the skin. The bird then went into a slow cooker that already had a bed of roughly chopped onions, carrots, a whole garlic bulb and a cup of white wine.
8 hours on low and the meat was moist and falling off the bone 🙂 . I was very pleased because chicken is a lean meat and can dry out in a slow cooker if you are not careful.
Serving
I served it with some extra steamed vegetables on a bed of white basmati rice.
Enjoy,
PK
P.S. I have a oven variant of this recipe here.
