I love Chicken Corn Soup so I thought I'd better write the receipe here :
Ingredients

1 litre chicken stock
1/4 cup corn flour
1\2 cup cream of corn
1\2 cup minced chicken
1\4 cup soy sauce
1\4 cup vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp. Ajinomoto (Mono sodium glutamate)
1 egg white, beaten

Instructions

Bring the stock to boil. Stirring constantly, add minced chicken and cream of corn. Cook for few minutes. Add salt, pepper, ajinomoto and vinegar and cook for few more minutes.
Dissolve corn flour in enough water to make thick paste. Stirring constantly, add corn flour paste into the soup. Cook for 3-5 minutes.This will thicken the soup.
Add egg white slowly, stirring all the time, until the egg white is cooked through.

Enjoy your chicken corn soup.

Since nobody is paying attention to this thread, I thought I´d add an old favorite for camping: Hunter´s stew (you don´t have to be a hunter, just a name)


-hamburger, amount depends on number of persons, fried and broken up small
-salt, pepper and lots of garlic to taste (can be garlic powder)

once that is well done, add
-potatoes, cubed, or anyway you want to cut them
-one can, whole kernal corn

cook until potatoes are done and serve.

Beware, for some reason this recipe is addictive...:mrgreen:

Eggs + Rice blended with chicken (Egg Biryani thats what we call it in Urdu). Thats one of my favourites.

Whole Spices
6 Eggs boiled and peeled
1/2 cup crushed brown Onions
500 gms Rice boiled with Salt 3 tbsp
2 tsp Ginger / Garlic
Coriander and Mint leaves chopped
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
Green Chillies chopped
2 tsp Red Chilly powder
Dash of Kewra
2 Potatoes diced
saffron dissolved in 1/4 cup Milk
1/2 cup Peas boiled
1/2 tsp All Spice


Heat the oil. Add the whole spices and stir. Add the crushed onions, ginger / garlic, turmeric and red chilly powders. Stir and fry till the oil seperates.Add the potatoes, peas and yoghurt. Bring to a boil, cover and cook till the vegetables are tender. Add the eggs. In another pan spread 1/2 of the boiled rice, over this spread the contents of the 1st pan, sprinkle the coriander and mint leaves, and spread the remaining rice over this. Sprinkle the kewra and saffron on top. Cover the pot and simmer over a low heat for 15 minutes. And the wonderful egg biryani is ready for you ....

Arroz con Pollo (from Spain) - converted to Chicken & Rice
this one is easy and delicious

In a large pan, dice a whole chicken and cook in olive oil, salt and black pepper to taste, until done. Meanwhile, in a pot, cook some rice in chicken stock (or cubes)

To the chicken, add onion, red and green peppers, lots of garlic, black olives and oregano. Just before the rice is cooked, add frozen peas and cover to amalgamate the flavors.

Drain the rice and add to the pan, stirring carefully.

Serve..and wait for the praise, they will ask for it again...

Got a name for that dish? Add some Cajun spice mix and it's awfully like 'Dirty rice'.

This may sound wierd and gross, but don't knock it till ya try it...

It's a very easy dish that goes good in the morning or as a snack during the day - Sugar Butter n' Rice. Basically you just mix the three till it tastes good. Probably not the most healthiest of dishes, but very tasty!
