This little Wyandotte just sits quietly.
I made soup tonight.
It wasn't a plan... it just kind of happened.
I steamed a pot of brussel sprouts, green beans and kale
and the water under the vegetables
turned this lovely shade of green and I just couldn't throw it out.
Green Refrigerator Soup
(stuff I had in the fridge)
I had some leeks.
Washed, chopped and added them and some garlic.
Leftover cooked bacon.
Let it cook.
Added cooked potatoes and seasoning.
Then I whipped it up with the immersion blender.
Added chopped cooked chicken,
1 roma tomato chopped fine (seeds removed,)
and 2 finely chopped spring onions.
Then I added juice of half a lime.
and some more salt.
I put it in the fridge.
Hope it will taste even better tomorrow.
Might add a bit more lemon or lime juice before serving
And ?
It's still green!

The hens got watermelon and kale for treats

That soup sure sounds good! I have been pretty lucky in that I don't get broody hen that often!
Got to love those broodies!
Haha. It's still green. ;o)
Good luck with the broodies!
Sounds delicious! Some of my best soups have been accidental inventions.
The soup looks yummy and your hens are so pretty! :)
I'm jealous of your broody hens! How are they doing now?
Hi there, just stopping by to say how delightful your blog is. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris

The broody hens are still sitting and must be getting pretty tired of no chicks showing up. No rooster around here.
