Wholesome and warming on this winter’s day and an ideal use of the stock and juices from a roast chicken if you’ve cooked one. Use fresh vegetables or cooked leftovers if you have them or both, as I did. No need to follow the recipe slavishly, vary the mixture according to what you have to hand. #WastenotWantnot

Steps

45-50 minutes including prep

1

Bring the oil to a medium- high heat and gently fry the onions, garlic and celery until softened, stirring only to avoid sticking.
2

In the meantime, put all the other ingredients except the macaroni into a stockpot or large saucepan, stir well and start heating.
3

Stir in the softened onions, garlic and celery, cover the pan and bring to a boil, stirring a couple of times. Reduce the heat to a fast simmer, stirring occasionally but thoroughly. After 25 minutes stir in the macaroni, increase the heat and cook for a further 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4

Taste and add further seasoning if wished. Serve piping hot with your choice of bread.

I use fresh, locally-sourced and seasonal ingredients wherever possible and seek to avoid food waste with my “Use-up” recipes. #WastenotWantnotMy wife and I love travelling and exploring different cuisines but never under-estimate traditional British cooking: every country has something to offer, including in the field of home cooking.
