This is one of my favourite ways to turn any leftover meat into a completely new meal.. The roasted meat gives the soup a deep, savoury flavour, while the mustard greens add a delicious balance of sweetness and slight bitterness. It’s a comforting one pot soup that’s perfect for reducing food waste.

After simmering for hours, the mustard greens become naturally sweet and soak up all the delicious flavours from the broth. It’s a great way to introduce vegetables to children.
My second daughter loves this soup and happily eats the vegetables every time.
I love making this soup with whatever leftover meat I have at home, but I especially recommend using roast meat like roast duck or roast pork. The roasted flavour adds so much depth to the broth without needing many ingredients.
This is another example of how I like to give leftovers a second life instead of serving the same meal twice. It’s simple, comforting and one of my husband’s favourite soups because it reminds him of the flavours he grew up with.
