Meatball soup and roasted chicken

Every time I try to do some soup it turns into all purpose main dish instead of … just a soup. And every time I promise myself “I will not overeat, I will not eat half a loaf of bread with this” etc. … I simply fail.

This one turned tasty, too. I failed again. Then I said to myself “What the heck. It’s spring. Bike time.” and I kept cooking.

For this one I put most of what my fridge had not dried and left unusable:

 

few medium carrots, some green onions,

piece of butter (around 25 grams),

ground spices, chunk of old cheese,

minced meat, a handful of rice, 1 medium sized mushroom.

 

I’ve diced the mushroom and mixed it with the ground meat and the cheese. Put some salt, ground black pepper and cumin. Rolled balls about 2 cm in diameter and let them steam a bit with the vegetables in a chunk of butter. Then poured a liter of warm water and left it to boil for 40 minutes on medium hot plate.

While it was cooking I made a cup of salad and found that there are few large pieces of chicken behind the bag of vegetables … still not behind it’s “don’t eat this after this” date stamped on the package.

So I’ve decided to make them all too, so I don’t throw them in the garbage tomorrow. I’ve got ground spices already and was thinking what to do with them.

So it’s a soup with a side dish of salad and roasted chicken after all.

I promise I will burn everything with the bike tomorrow. Found a bottle of white wine also. And I can assure you, it’s fully compatible with the roasted chicken.
