You remember the story. How often do you make it and what combo of ingedients became a family recipe? It could also be a stew. The green chili stew I make started out this way.
Many of my soups start out as Stone Soup. Nothing that has ever been repeated.
Planned soups, I shop for.
Nothing ever hit you with "Wow, got to make this again!". Getting you to shop for those ingredients?
That's a great way to get rid of leftovers. I should start that as a tradition.We call it "refrigerator soup" here. I think I spoke about it in another thread awhile back. My dad always made it on Saturdays with whatever leftovers were in the fridge. It almost always contained spaghetti (my mother made it with elbow macaroni) and green beans, corn and tomatoes. It was kind of a goulash soup.
We make garbage soup here. All of the little bits of leftover meats, veggies,etc. are layered in a freezer box until it is full, then it is the beginning of a fantastic soup.
But kids love that name.Great idea but couldn't you find a more appetizing name??? Mystery soup, melange potage...
