Roast Dinner Soup

This is quite a heavy soup, but I would still class it as a light meal. It's a really good way of using up your roast dinner left overs, and it stretches them out further.

You need:
1 roast dinner left overs, including gravy, stuffing and everything
stock
olive oil
salt and pepper

Put a little oil in a large pan and add your roast left overs. Cook for a few minutes add the gravy, and as much stock as it takes to cover the ingredients in the pan. Simmer for 10 mins then blend. Season to taste and you've just made what's probably the easiest soup in the world. Serve with croutons (see below) and cheese.

Croutons

Croutons are basically small bits of toast. You can do that as a quick fix, but here's some real tasty ones.

You need:
bread cut into 2cm cubes
garlic
herbs of your choice chopped
olive oil
salt and pepper

Pour about 5 tablespoons of oil into a bowl add the herbs and seasoning. Coat thoroughly and leave to soak for a few minutes.
Next place in an ovenproof dish and put into a pre heated oven at 200°c until crispy, 5-10 mins, or toast in a hot pan.
