Thai-Inspired Chicken Soup

As it's autumn and thus soup season, I looked through my cookbooks and decided I wanted to make a Thai-inspired chicken soup I found in a Norwegian cookbook named "Matmisjon - Ekte mat fra ti matbloggere" edited by Hanne Stensvold. The recipe I used was one of those that's fairly easy to follow, and the only adjustment I needed to do was not using as much stock/water, as I didn't quite have enough room in the pot, but it produced several portions of soup anyway, so it wasn't a big deal really. The soup itself had some warmth and kick to it, as I used both red curry paste and a chopped chili in it, which is rather nice on a cold autumn day. A big bonus is that as it's made from scratch, rather than being one of those soup-mix things, is that it was a bit filling too (I feel that a lot of times, those soup mixes doesn't quite cut it). I dare say this is one of those recipes I'd love to make again.

Beef Satay With Peanut Sauce

As I've got a weak spot for Thai food, I ended up making beef satay with peanut sauce recently, thanks to a Norwegian cookbook called "Fristende Thai". I didn't have any skewers, so I didn't bother with those, but overall it was a fairly easy recipe, even if the beef needs to marinate for a little while. I also served it with some chopped spring onions for some more flavour and texture. While it may not look too fancy, it was tasty and I'll probably make it again some time.
