Explanation:

The clue "didn't cook a big meal" shows that the supper was not large or heavy. In this context, "light" means a meal that is small, not heavy, or easy to digest (like a simple, not substantial meal, as opposed to a big, heavy one).

Answer:

small (or not heavy, simple, etc. — the core meaning here is that the supper was not a big, heavy meal, so "light" means something like small, modest, or not substantial in terms of the meal's size/richness)
