Clean out your Refrigerator Soup
Leftovers! Some people love them, other's...well they don't. So what do you do with leftovers that are getting near the end of their shelf life? Out about make "Clean Out Your Refrigerator Soup". This recipe is from the website: HeyThatTastesGood.com
"This is not a recipe but a process. Use whatever you have left in your fridge!
1. First things first. If you are using frozen stock, microwave it or thaw it in a pan on the stove.
2. Chop all your vegetables. I always use onion and garlic, this time I added carrots, celery, a parsnip, and Chinese broccoli. If your vegetables have leafy greens, like bok choy or Chinese broccoli, slice the stems and use them now. Set aside the leafy greens to be added in at the end.
3. If you are using raw meat, cook it now, then remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Heat a bit of butter or olive oil in your soup pot. Add your chopped veggies, and cook 5-10 minutes until softened and starting to brown. I know all these vegetables cook for different amounts of time, but they're going to keep cooking in the soup so it will be ok.
5. Once vegetables are soft, add tomato if you are using tomatoes.
6. Add some salt and pepper, and if you want to add some spices do it now. I often use cumin and coriander, or curry powder, and paprika and chili powder if you want a kick. Cook the spices for a minute, stirring.
7. Add the stock (and some water if it's strong, or if you don't have a lot of stock) and stir to get anything stuck on the bottom of the pan into the liquid. Bring to a simmer.
8. Add whatever starch you are using (unless you're using pasta). I usually use rice, but buckwheat is great, and quinoa is too. Simmer, stirring, for 15 minutes.
9. Add cooked meat back to the pot. If using pasta, add it now. Cook about 5 minutes, until meat is hot and has taken in some of the soup juices. (You can add the meat earlier, of course, and let it cook further with the vegetables.) If you're using tofu instead of meat, add it now.
10. Dump in all your greens, if using. Cook just until wilted.
11. At this point, you are done. However, there are other optional things you can do, like crack in some eggs, stir in some cream or cheese or yogurt, add a sliced avocado and some tortilla chips, or stir in some miso. "
