October is usually a fair month with warm days and just chilly enough evening and mornings to enjoy a walk or a bicycle ride. The food stalls start changing in colors and products too.

So I prepared a slightly spicy soup with fresh vegetables and chicken meat-balls, in a bouillon of spices and fresh lemongrass. Here is my recipe, it\u2019s super simple!! Hope you\u2019ll like it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spicy soup<\/strong> (2 servings)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1 carrot<\/li><li>1 2cm slice of butternut squash<\/li><li>A handful of green beans<\/li><li>100-150g of chicken breast grounded <\/li><li>1 tsp of potato starch<\/li><li>1 pinch of turmeric<\/li><li>1 pinch of chilly pepper<\/li><li>1 pinch of coriander<\/li><li>1 pinch of salt and pepper <\/li><li>1 leave of fresh lemongrass<\/li><li>100g of vermicelli or thin noodles (optional)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually you can adjust the vegetables to what you have around&#8230; I sliced the carrot with the peeler to obtain very thin slices, but you can also do a julienne or small stick&#8230; it\u2019s up to you&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So in in a large pan I heat 1L if water, add the vegetables and the spices. Then in a bowl I mix the meat and the starch. Make small balls (1.5-2cm diameter) and toss them in the boiling bouillon. After 10min all is ready. 5min before eating I add the noodles. They cook very quickly and you don\u2019t want them to become thick and too soft. Serve immediately. Yes&#8230; that\u2019s it!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a good day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the summer fades away, autumn days are slowly settling in.
