There are so many ways to get the calcium you need from milk without necessarily having to drink glasses of milk. Milk or milk products can also be used in recipes to give you some delicious meals or snacks that you can share with your friends and family. My friend Selanie Jommo has shared 3 recipes with me. Enjoy.

Cream of chicken soup

This is a good soup for cold rainy days, when you are feeling lazy but need a good meal. The quantities can be increased easily, but it usually serves 4moderately hungry individuals.

  • 8 cups water
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • Whole chicken about 1.8kg seasoned with salt and pepper
  • Mixed vegetables (green onion, red onion, celery, carrot) 1 each trimmed and chopped into large cubes.
  • 40g Butter
  • 1/2 cup plain flour
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1/4cup chopped dhania

Fry the seasoned chicken in a little of the butter until golden on all sides.

Boil together the water, stock, chicken, and mixed vegetables, reduce to simmer for 1 and a half hours.

Strain the broth, remove the chicken and discard the other solids. You can then simmer the strained broth for 30mins.

Remove the chicken skin and discard it shred up the meat.

Melt the rest of the butter in a large saucepan, add flour and cook, stirring, until it thickens and bubbles.

Gradually stir in the broth and lemon juice, and bring to the boil, add cream, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 25mins, stirring occasionally.

Add chicken and stir soup over medium heat until hot.

Serve soup in bowls or large soup mugs sprinkled with dhania….

Here’s a quick bread recipe that makes it a complete meal.
