This is a super quick and easy recipe for making a slow cooked leftover roast chicken soup – no waste and no fuss!
Slow cooking means that you can be super creative with leftovers and also have yummy sustainable meals because nothing is being wasted! Now more than ever, we are reflecting on our food waste and how we can be more sustainable with what we consume. In the UK alone, 6.5 million tonnes of food waste is thrown by households - 4.5 million of which is completely fine to eat! Not only does reducing food waste mean it saves individual households money but it is also critical in protecting the planet! I am all for sustainable living and I really want to incorporate into my recipes how we can save food and turn stuff into yummy dishes, when we think it should be thrown!
