Healthy Leftovers
As a student it is very important that I know how to use up the leftover food in my kitchen. This way I can make healthy and cheap food during what student's like to call "Empty Pocket Month". Soup is one of the best dishes to achieve this and you might even invent a new soup recipe. I decided to use only a few ingredients as I wanted something light.
Ingredients:
1/4 of a medium brocolli (cut into chunky bits), 1 green chilli (chopped), 1/4 of a red onion (chopped into small pieces), 2 gloves of crushed garlic, 1 can of mixed bean salad, 1/4 red pepper, 1.2 litres vegetable stock.
