Use up leftover ham from your Sunday roast to make this delicious and healthy Ham and Egg Noodle Soup. A quick and easy meal idea for a Monday!
Uch, Monday again! But if you've got the beginning of the week blues then fear not!
I have just the recipe to kick start your week and make today's evening meal quick, easy and oh so comforting!
Mondays are usually leftovers night in my house, using up any extra meat or vegetables that have been cooked but not eaten over the weekend.
And when we have leftover ham my favourite recipe to make is Ham & Egg Noodle Soup.
This soup is super speedy to whip up which also makes it great for evenings when you need to get a meal on the table fast.
With a good balance of protein and carbs it is also a substantial soup, helping to nourish your family at the end of a busy day.
I used carrots, celery and red pepper in my recipe but you can adapt it using any vegetables you like.
This soup also works well with leftover chicken or leave the meat out entirely to make it vegetarian friendly.
