I Hate To Waste Food Soup Recipe

Kim's I HATE To Waste Food Soup Recipe
NOTE:  Have leftover salad or veggies in the fridge that are starting to go bad? 

Put any low carb raw veggies you want to use up in the blender with enough water to blend it up.  It might look funky.  Pour into a soup pot and add 1 - 2 cups of chicken or beef broth depending on how many veggies you had.  You can also throw in any leftover low carb cooked veggies and cut up meat if you want to.  Add any dried spiced/herbs you like.  I usually put in garlic, parsley, chives, salt & pepper.  Cook until the raw veggies are tender.  I usually bring to a boil and simmer 45 mins.  You can eat it like this or you can add heavy cream to make it a creamy soup.  Also really good topped with some parmesan cheese.

This might be difficult if you are keeping your carbs below 20 and are not good at eyeballing to know how many carbs you have going on in the recipe so be careful with that    MEASURE before blending if you need to...........

I see broccoli soup in my day! What a great idea! I hate to waste anything.I even harvest the seeds from my basil plants

My last concoction was a huge salad of lettuce, radishes, brocolli & cukes ~ It was amazingly good with parm cheese on top plus it had a kick from the radishes ~ YUMMY!!

Now I'm getting a jones for Asparagus Soup!
Next shopping trip, I think I'll buy a few bundles and reserve some for soup!

Someone told me that if you cut up asparagus, place in cream of mushroom soup (low carb),
slow heat it in a crock pot for a few hours, it makes a lovely stew!
Might even mix it up a bit with some chicken breast meat!

I think I'm hearing a dinner bell for dinner next week!

Sounds good -do you have a suggestion for the canned soup?

[umpa]

Yes .Use Dougs recipe for rich and creamy alfredo sauce and thin it with cream and add mushrooms.

I have leftover chicken, asparagus and one mushroom. Cream too. Sounds like dinner to me!
