The Gluten-Free Author's Guide to  store cupboard saviours

As in what the heck can I make for lunch when the fridge isn't yielding anything that inspires me?
An onion, a leek, half a carrot and a tomato that had seen better days is lurking in my chill compartment, and the shopping click and collect is booked for tomorrow.  
I'm trying not to have a stash of tins  stored away until I discover they are past their use by date and the lovely husband—who appears to have a cast iron stomach—insists they will be fine. Mind you he did let me bin the tin of tomato soup, so old it didn't even have a date on it. How long that had been hiding behind a box of lentils,  a jar of creamy cheese sauce (bleugh, I hate cheese) and three packets of gluten full stuffing mix, I daren't hazard a guess. Sufficient to say when he was out, I did a swift check and ditch session.
Which didn't help me with what was for lunch.
I improvised. 
And made one of the nicest store cupboard soups we've had in ages and it was oh so easy.
Tomato and White Bean Soup.
I  sautéed half a large onion, added some garlic and oregano (because we both love oregano), bunged in a tin of chopped tomatoes, half a tin of white beans (I used the tin with the closest sell by date which happened to be cannellini beans) and a slug of water to make it less thick. Simmered it until it was all lovely and hot, then blitzed half of it to create a lovely creamy thick soup which as the lovely hubby said, 'still had some chunks in it'. you guessed it, he doesn't like creamy smooth soup.
I would have added a photo of it, but it's all gone.
Anyway, it was a nice change from my usual go to home made soups, lentil or mushroom.
The latter is only once the shoppings arrived though.

Happy Cooking

Love Raven   xxx
