When there is no time or energy to prepare a full meal, express recipes, that is, recipes for instant food preparation, can help out the hostess. Of course, you can make a bag of soup or noodles, but there are other options that are as close as possible in taste and quality to our traditional dishes.
Of course, any impromptu must be prepared in advance. Therefore, it is always desirable to have canned food "in the bins": lecho, good stew, green peas, corn, pink salmon in its own juice, tomato juice. This is our strategic reserve.
Soup in five minutes # 1
We open a jar of lecho, a jar of stewed meat and transfer their contents to a saucepan. If the stew is fatty, you can remove some of the fat. We put on high heat, add about a glass of water and bay leaf, salt (if necessary). Bring to a boil and pour into plates. This soup is thick and hearty, reminiscent of the Hungarian goulash soup. And if you add boiled rice (for example, left over from dinner) and another glass of water to it, then we get almost kharcho soup! Greens to taste.
Soup in five minutes # 2
We open a jar of green peas, a jar of pink salmon in our own juice and transfer all their contents to a saucepan. We put on high heat, add about two glasses of water, bay leaf, salt. While the soup is boiling, peel one onion, rub it on a fine grater (chop it in a food processor) in mashed potatoes and send it to a saucepan. Boil the soup for 2 minutes and serve. Alternatively, you can put corn instead of green peas.
Soup in five minutes # 3
This is an express version of cold gazpacho soup. Pour a package (1 liter) of tomato juice into a saucepan. Grate one large or two medium cucumbers on a fine grater (grind in a food processor) in mashed potatoes, pass two cloves of garlic through a press, add all this to tomato juice, salt-pepper to taste. Pour in two tablespoons of olive oil. Mix well and pour into plates. Ideally, serve croutons or croutons with the soup.
Bon Appetit!
