For days when only a big bowl of comfort will do, this speedy dish is just the ticket. To make enough soup for two people, sauté 5 sliced spring onions and a couple of handfuls of chopped mushrooms in a saucepan over a medium-high heat, until the onions are starting to turn golden. Add 2 finely chopped garlic cloves and cook for a minute more, then pour over 24fl oz good-quality chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, add 2 large handfuls of green vegetables (think frozen peas, shredded kale, green beans or asparagus tips) and around 10oz (300g) leftover shredded roast chicken. Simmer until it's all heated through, and serve.

Be guided by both the seasons and what’s in your fridge here; the likes of tomatoes, peppers, butternut squash, aubergine, courgette, fennel, parsnips and carrots all roast beautifully and will bring a medley of color and texture to your table.

Delicious as it is, ratatouille can be a bit of a faff to make from scratch. When you have a supply of roasted vegetables ready to go, though, the dish becomes a lesson in simplicity. Just tip your veggies into a saucepan and add tinned tomatoes, torn basil leaves and a scattering of thyme, plus a dash of Tabasco or a little chopped chili if you fancy a bit of extra heat. Serve spooned over rice or as an accompaniment to sausages or leftover roast meat.

A pack of ready-rolled puff pastry is a fridge or freezer essential in our eyes – perfect for topping pies, making quick sweet or savory pinwheel snacks or, in this case, using as the base for a tasty tart. Unroll your pastry sheet onto a baking tray and spread with a layer of cream cheese, followed by a layer of pesto. Pile leftover roasted vegetables on top and dot with pieces of goats’ cheese. Bake in a hot oven until the pastry is crisp and golden.
