What do I do with all that food in my fridge?

Has it happened to you?  

You've gone to the grocery store picking up things you think you need, clearly without a list.  

What's a list?

You walk through the freezer or veggie isle trying to remember what you needed and wind up coming home with more vegetables or canned goods than you need. 

What is a modern girl to do????

Soup!  

That's right, get a large saucepan or stockpot out and turn up the heat.  

Grab a bag of the veggie broth you made from the previous post, or pop open a can of chicken broth that is sitting in the back of your cupboard.  

Heat the broth and toss in any of the vegetables you've got in your freezer or fridge.  

Once their boiling, reduce to a simmer.  

Take a taste...does it need some salt?  Pepper?  Toss in a little bit and try it again.  

Need a little more flavor?  

Open up that spice drawer and dust off those spices.  Try a little curry powder with winter vegetables.  Maybe some italian herbs with tomatoes or greens.  Experiment with a little, take a taste, and adjust to your liking!

Add some crusty bread and you've got a great meal!
