Tonight we served our company soup made from leftovers. We were 6 at dinner and Doreen and I wanted to keep things simple so we decided to serve soup. Fortunately, our four plus our 2 guests enjoyed the soup along with fresh bread, followed by salad. We always eat salad after our main course. Our guests brought home baked tea biscuits and watermelon for dessert.
Doreen made the soup yesterday. We began with three packages of dry soup mix to which we added chicken broth made from cubes. And we put in about a third of a big bottle of clamato juice. Doreen cut and cubed two potatoes and I cut up cooked carrots and put them in the soup. We tasted and put in more seasonings. Onions and garlic were added along with the left over chicken and beef from past dinners. Also rice. Doreen simmered the big pot for several hours. Before bedtime, the soup was placed in the fridge.
This afternoon the soup was too thick so we added another two cubes of chicken broth. After it simmered for another hour or so the soup was ready to serve. Everyone ate two helpings so our dinner was definitely a hit. We not only made a good meal but we also cleared out our fridge. On March 12 we four move to the Time Share at Paradise Village so we want to eat everything in our fridge and pantry without resorting to buy anything new. We succeeded..
