Most of us at one time or another have run into the dreaded leftovers that don't quite constitute as a full fledged "meal". Am I right?
Often times when making curry or a stir fry I always have a cup or so of rice leftover with no actual curry or stir fry to speak of. Or I will randomly have a cup of mashed squash or sweet potato sitting in in the fridge.
I really make an effort not to waste food, when I have little odds and ends leftover from a meal I pop them in a container and store them in the fridge. During the winter month's these leftovers are most often used as base for a weekend soup.
Leftover mashed potatoes or squash make an amazing thickener for a soup. All you need to do is add a few pantry staples to create another amazing meal out of leftover's that otherwise may or may not have just been thrown out.
A few weeks ago I tossed together a "Chicken" and Rice Soup with leftover white rice, the week before that I made a butternut squash and orzo vegetable soup and this week I threw together a red lentil, rice and sweet potato soup.
To create the base of my soup I always use nutritional yeast, tomato paste, and all purpose seasoning and if I have leftover vegetable stock I toss that in. Frozen veggies are all awesome to toss in along with a carrot and some type of onion be it white, red or a shallot.
Quick, easy and delicious and will cost you maybe a few dollars if that for 4 servings.
Since the soup is so easy to make with little or no prep work I like to make a loaf of bread while the soup is simmering. The bread changes weekly based on my mood, this past weekend I received my all time favorite seed mix // triple omega seed mix . The recipe is loosely based on my Multi Seeded Baguette recipe. I used bread flour and organic cane sugar as the primary sweetener.
Red lentils are great for quick cooking soups, they cook up fast and if cooked long enough breakdown making a nice thick and creamy soup.
Leftovers never have to be boring again.
