Need some help reducing waste in your household? Karen Davis, from NR2 Foodbank, has an easy recipe for using up food that might go to waste.
Serves 2
200g chopped veg (whatever is in the bottom of the fridge but still good to eat)
300g potatoes (diced)
1 tbsp oil
700 ml stock
Dried herbs or spices of your choice
1. Fry the veg in the oil until soft.
2. Add the herbs or spices and cook for a minute.
3. Add the potatoes and stock and then cook for 10-15 minutes until the veg is tender.
4. Serve as it is or blend to make a smooth soup.
The soup will freeze for up to a month.
