How To Make Soup

File this under brilliant. How to make soup. No list of ingredients, just a basic "how to" from things in your refrigerator. If only I listened to my mother better, I would be an expert in this. She can also just "throw together" soup from things in the fridge. She would even throw in aging salsa or the remainder of a ketchup bottle! Photo and recipe from Hey That Tastes Good!

Things from the fridge soup: This is not a recipe but a process. Use whatever you have left in your fridge! (I abbreviated her process below. Please see her website for the full instructions!)

1. Thaw stock, if frozen
2. Chop all your vegetables.
3. Cook meat, if using
4. Saute veggies.
5. Once vegetables are soft, add tomato if you are using tomatoes.
6. Add salt, pepper, spices.
7. Add the stock. Maybe water. Simmer.
8. Add whatever starch you are using (unless you're using pasta).
9. Add cooked meat back to the pot. If using pasta, add it now. If you're using tofu, add it now.
10. Dump in all your greens, if using. Cook just until wilted.
11. At this point, you are done!
