Mina's Notes/Suggestions : 

- I found this recipe a touch salty, I plan to skip the bullion cube next time I make it. 

- I also used less cream cheese and also added sour cream for extra tang

- I decided to add some sauteed mushrooms about 1/2 hour before serving. They really help soak up any extra liquid

- Of course, serve over buttered egg noodles

Easy Indian Butter Chicken

I can't begin to explain how easy this is...honestly, a child (9-10 yrs) could do this..
So if you like indian food, or perhaps you're looking to experiment with something new, butter chicken is always the least intimidating thing in indian cuisine. It's a light flavour, doesn't taste aggressively of curry, its a tomato based sauce...it's great! I love it :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients

- 2-3 medium sized chicken breasts
- 1 bottle of butter chicken sauce of your choice
- frozen peas (if desired)

Directions

Cut up your chicken into small pieces (I used boneless thighs this time because it's what I had in the house)

brown with a bit of oil and season lightly with salt and pepper

Chicken should look like this in about 5 -7 minutes. Were browning, not cooking through

Add the entire jar of sauce and feel free to put a little water or milk in the jar and shake it up to get the rest off the sides :)

simmer for about 15-20 minutes and in the last 5 mins add frozen peas or any other frozen veggie of your choice (I also added some fresh parsley)

Serve over rice :)

Thai Pumpkin Soup

With a pumpkin and broth stash in your cabinet, you can make this soup faster than finding the number for delivery. Serves 4.

1 – 16 oz can pumpkin puree
2 Tbsp favorite curry paste (I use red or green)
2 ½ cups vegetable or chicken broth
Fresh chopped cilantro or mint (for garnish)

Mix all ingredients (except garnish) in saucepan until smooth. Simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, serve and garnish. Turn this soup into a complete meal by adding some protein (chicken, shrimp, tofu) and frozen vegetable mix like broccoli, cauliflower and carrots!
