Leftover Cheese And Crackers Soup

 

Leftover Cheese and Craker Soup. Ok weve all been there. A pile of stale Carr's, little bits of squished cheese from a party last week. No, you cant just throw them in soup. They require transubstantiation. Now bear with me: Crush crakers and cover with milk. Let stand a few minutes and drain. Add an egg, 1/2 tsp mustard, some capers, scraps of turkey or chicken finely shredded, cheeses (gouda and mozzarella here) and some greens, rabe or mustard. Fry this gently in a pan with butter, scrambling, until quite brown. Put in a bowl and pour in rich chicken stock spiked with lemon. Unbelievably good.
