A Basic Soup Or Stew Is Nourishing, Inexpensive, And Flexible

"I never follow recipes—I prefer to just cook with what I have."
  • Soups are great dishes to use what you already have on hand and improvise! Almost any vegetable can be thrown into a soup or stew and it will just make the soup taste better.
  • Soups and stews can be made to last for many meals. Simply add more water or broth to make more soup.
  • Use the cheaper cuts of meats for soups and stews since they become tender when cooked for a long time.
  • Soups freeze well. If you make a very large pot and freeze the leftovers, you can defrost them later.
  • Add a hearty grain to your soup to make it more filling. Barley, farro, and brown rice hold up well in soups.
  • Frozen and canned vegetables are easy additions to soups.
Follow the link below to reinvent the your leftovers into a delicious soup and find some enticing recipes.
