Cleaning out the fridge for dinner.

 

 

Every time I throw away food I just feel like I am throwing away cash.  It hurts! 

I was recently headed out of town for a few days and had a fridge full of vegetables.  Thanks Bountiful Baskets!  I knew that many of them would go bad before I would be back.  I decided to make famous Clean Out The Fridge Soup! 

Clean out the fridge soup

Ingredients:

Any combination of the following:

• meatballs
• leftover chicken, cubed
• leftover ground beef
• any kind of leftover meat
• no meat at all

• peppers
• onions
• celery
• carrots
• broccoli
• tomato

• chicken broth
• beef broth
• canned soups, i.e. cream of ?, french onion, fiesta cheese, broccoli cheese, tomato etc.
• canned tomatoes

Sauté whatever veggies you want cooked. Then add your pre cooked meat and liquid. 

Whaaa La! You have created a meal, hopefully it tastes good .

You can do this also as a pasta dish.  Just add cooked pasta to the cooked veggies and meat.

How about a stir fry.  Add some cooked rice to the veggies and meat.
