1/2 CUP RED ONION OR SHALLOTS
1 CUP COOKED CHICKEN
1 CUP HAM
1 CUP SWEETCORN
1 CUP COOKED POTATOES
3 CUPS CHICKEN BROTH(I USED HOMEMADE)
2 CUPS SEMI SKIMMED MILK.
SALT,PEPPER,1/2 TEASPOON GARLIC

THROW ALL THE INGREDIENTS IN POT EXCEPT THE MILK,BRING TO BOIL GENTLY THEN THICKEN THE SOUP WITH A BIT OF CORNFLOUR MIXED IN WATER.COOK UNTIL THICKEN.COOL DOWN AND PUT IN FRIDGE OVERNIGHT.TO SERVE ,ADD THE MILK AND REHEAT GENTLY.

THIS IS THE QUICK VERSION IF YOU PREFER USE A ROUX MIXTURE TO THE CORNFLOUR ONE.TAKES A BIT LONGER.

TO SERVE WITH THE SOUP TRY THESE
SOUR CREAM BISCUITS

1 CUP BISCUIT/BAKING MIX
1/2 CUP SOUR CREAM
1/4 CUP BUTTER OR MARGERINE
IN A BOWL COMBINE ALL INGREDIENTS.PUT INTO GREASED MUFFIN PAN.BAKE AT 425 DEGREESF FOR 15/18 MNS OR UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN.

TUNISIAN DIP.

1 EGGPLANT
1 GREEN,1 RED CAPPISSUMS(NOT TOO SURE WE CALL THEM PEPPERS)
6 TOMATOES
2 RED ONIONS
GARLIC
1 RED JALAPENOS
OLIVE OIL

PUT EGGPLANT,CAPPISSUMS,TOMATOES AND RED ONIONS(WITH SKINS) ON A BAKING TRAY AND BRUSH THEM WITH OLIVE OIL.BAKE UNTIL BROWN AND SOFT
YOU CAN COOL DOWN AND PEEL OFF THE SKIN OF TOMATOES,EGGPLANTS AND CAPPISSUMS BUT I DON'T BOTHER.PEEL THE ONIONS THOUGHT.
CUT IN ROUGH PIECES AND PUT IN FOOD PROCESSOR WITH THE GARLIC AND JALAPENOS.YOU CAN ADD SOME OLIVE OIL IF YOU WANT IT SMOOTHER.
FOR THE GARLIC AND JALAPENOS,PUT ACCORDING TO TASTE.BUT A WORD OF CAUTION,THIS DISH WILL BE SPICIER THE MORE YOU KEEP IT.SO WHEN YOU MAKE IT YOU THINK IT IS NOT SPICY ENOUGH ,WAIT THE NEXT DAY BEFORE YOU ADD ANYTHING.
YOU CAN USE IT AS A DIP,ON TOAST WITH CHEESE ECT...
