Easy chicken casserole

I got this recipe from an old friend and have slightly changed it to suit me!

Anyways, you need:
1kg chicken thighs
4 sticks celery
3 carrots, peeled
1 leek, or 1 onion
1 parsnip
1 zucchini
button mushrooms
1 tin of corn
2 tins tomatoes, diced
1 packet french onion soup mix
1 packet chicken noodle soup mix

Trim the fat off the chicken and cut each thigh into 2. Place into a casserole dish that has a lid. Then chop up the vegies to a size you'd like - chunky dicedish.
Add the vegies to the pot and pour the soup mixes and the tomatoes over it. Give it a little mix around, and then you might want to add a cup of water or so.

Put it in a medium oven - about 170C or so for 2 hours.

If you want to use frozen corn, add it in the last half hour.

For a slightly different version, add some macaroni and a little more water in the last half hour too.

Nanna's Lamb and Vegie soup

Nanna always made this yummy lamb and veg soup so I got the recipe from her.

Boil up a few lamb chops or shanks for a couple of hours so you get some nice stock. (I also added some diced lamb too coz I like it meaty!)

Grate some carrot, celery, onion/leek, parsnip, turnip, and any other veg you like, although the combo of those works great. You can add a potato or two as well (peeled).

Add the vegies to the pot with some more water or liquid vegie stock. Then add some vegie stock cubes/powder per your tasting preference.

After it's simmered away for another couple of hours, pull all the bones out and rip up the meat a bit if it's really chunky.
Let it cool overnight in the fridge, then skim the fat off the top.

Heat through and add 1/2 cup macaroni or pasta to your preference and simmer for half an hour or so until ready to eat. YUM!!!!
