I have written about making soup before, about how time saving and money saving it is as well as how nutritious. This week I tried something new I read about on another blog on cooking. It was so very simple and delicious and saved uneaten food from being thrown out
which is very wasteful, especially in the pocketbook.
What you do is take all your leftover vegetables and whizz them in the food processor or blender with a bit of water or broth. I had leftover potatoes and carrots from a roast pork dinner and we were tired of eating them, plus the pork roast was all gone. So I whizzed up
those while also sauteing some onions and garlic for a flavorful addition. I whizzed those too. Then I took some leftover smoked sausage and peeled off the casing, cut into chunks and whizzed that to add to the pot. We had a bit of gravy left so in it went and of course water to thin things a bit.
It was wonderful, a thick flavorful soup that we had for supper and lunches the next 2 days. The lady who wrote the blog article says she uses anything left over and it always seems to come out good. The one she had made was a green color from the green vegetables
she used, mine was orangy from the carrots. Make it as thick or thin as you want, it is wonderfully warm comfort food.
Excellent for someone not feeling well or who can't chew well and for babies too!
Remember you can home can the leftovers!
