My cooking day. Chicken in the slow-cooker and tomato soup. Check it out maybe you will try it. My husband says its very good ;) Plus extra my movies about cleaning

Today is my cooking day. Actually I love cooking if I only find the right time. I decided to make tomato soup and slow-cooker garlic parm chicken. Here you have some photos and indigrents  maybe you will try it. I will tell you honestly my husband love it   :D:D:D

Slow - Cooker Garlic Parmesan Chicken :

INGREDIENTS

1/3 c. plus 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

2 or 3 chicken breast ( could be bone-in chicken thighs )

Himalayan pink salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 lb. potatoes, quartered

2 tbsp. butter

5 cloves Garlic, Chopped

2 tbsp. freshly chopped thyme

freshly grated Parmesan, for serving

Freshly chopped parsley, for serving

DIRECTIONS:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1/3 cup oil. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and sear until golden, 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and sear 3 minutes more.

Meanwhile, in a 6-quart slow-cooker, toss potatoes with remaining 2 tablespoons oil, butter, garlic, and thyme. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add chicken to slow cooker and toss gently, then cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours, until potatoes are tender and chicken is fully cooked.

Garnish with Parmesan and parsley and serve.

I also add mushrooms and my homemade tomato sauce. 

Here I add my tomato sauce :)

And that is all. I start my slow -cooker for 6 hours for high temperature .

My tomatoes soup

Tomato soup is the best when you use raw ribs. I used raw beef.

or quarter chicken

2 liters of water

1/2 teaspoon of salt

(carrot, parsley, leek, slice of celery, half of onion)

200 g of tomato purée

250 ml of cream of cardboard (for soups and sauces) ( I use it very rarely )

A pinch of ground pepper

Rinse the meat under running cold water, put in a pot, add a pinch of salt, pour cold water and soak for about 15 minutes. Then pour the water from the chicken soak, add clean cold water (2 liters), salt and boil over a large fire.

In the meantime remove the spoon from the surface of the "scum". Reduce fire to minimum and cook on low heat for about 1/2 hour. Add the beaten and rinsed hair and cook for the next 20 minutes.

I love herbs. Here I add:

Herbes de provence

lovage

allspice

bay leaves

Take the meat from the decoction, add the tomatoes, stir well and boil. It is best to add a little bit of purée to the beginning and it is always possible to add it later after trying the soup, so the soup is not too sour.

(My idea is always prepare extra tomatoes in separate pot. I add here basil, garlic, perslay and olive oil. Wait until everything get soften.) 

then I add it to my big pot plus tomato puree as much as you like. I also love to add my homemade tomatoes sauce .

 

I don't add cream every time. If you want to here is how to do it:

Reduce fire and gradually add cream. - To avoid scalding it is best to mix it in a separate bowl (eg cup) with a few tablespoons of cold water and then with a gradual addition of hot water (about 1/3 cup). Gently warm up. Season to taste with pepper.

Done ;) 

Maybe not everything. The kitchen after cooking doesn't look great. So here you have some tips how to clean up :) It is not so difficult. Watch, try and enjoy ;)
