An almost instant lunch

Dear friends,

I can't believe it has been more than half a year since I have blogged! Thank you for those who came by and left me a comment to say hello and ask after me. Life has been really hectic since I became a stay at home mum and I haven't been baking much which explains the lack of postings too. I really miss sitting in front of the computer blogging away and checking out all your yummy postings. I hope to be back to baking more soon.

I don't cook many fanciful meals these days and everything is as simple as can be since I am almost always rushed for time. A few months back, a good friend (and ex-colleague) of mine, Pamela, launched her ready-to-drink traditional double boiled soups in a few flavours: Radish & Carrot Chicken Soup, Lotus Root & Peanut Chicken Soup as well as Carrot & Potato Chicken Soup.

The soup broth is prepared from chicken bone, dried scallop and octopus which gives the stock a wonderfully rich flavour, just like what we brew at home. These recipes were from Pamela's grandmother which explains the soups' traditional flavours.

I was blessed with packs of these delicious soups which my children enjoy very much. I would cook some macaroni, topped up with one pack of soup and it becomes an instant, quick to cook and nutritious lunch.

Here's my kid's lunch - macaroni in the  Radish & Carrot Chicken Soup - chock full of ingredients.

The Lotus Root & Peanut Chicken Soup is my children's favourite. These soups are currently retailing in Singapore supermarkets (NTUC Fairprice).

I'm going to sign off now. I hope to be visiting a few of your blogs soon and be back to baking again. Till then, take care!
