Great Taste-No Waste Vegetable Soup

Great Taste - No Waste Vegetable Soup

 

The main ingredients for this soup are found inside your pantry and frig.  I hate to throw away food so when cold weather hits and our food stock needs purging this is my go to soup. Leftovers, fresh vegetables in danger of going bad, as well as expiring fresh juices can be combined to make a delicious, nutritious meal without a trip to the store. Each batch of this soup is as unique as what’s inside your home.  Here’s my recipe for today’s soup:

Base:*

(2) 32 oz. V-8 Juice (about to expire and bought in bulk at Costco)
1) 24 0z. All Natural Pasta Sauce with Mushroom

Leftovers:

Jasmine rice
Home made salsa
Assorted cut vegetables

Fresh Vegetables:

Dandelion Greens – stems removed and cut into 1/2” pieces
Collard Greens – stems removed and cut into 1/2” pieces
Yellow Onion – diced
Red Potatoes – washed thoroughly and diced leaving skin on
Sugar Snap Peas (whole)

Pantry:

All Natural Chopped Tomato’s (without preservatives)

Freezer:

Assorted Soup Vegetables

Spices:

Mint, Italian Seasoning, Salt, Pepper

Meat:

Lean cubed beef browned in olive oil and chopped fresh garlic then add to soup

Place items in crockpot and cook on high for 8 hours. Easily serves a family of six. Leftovers provide hubby’s lunch the following day and I freeze the rest for future meals.

*Tomato Juice or soup could be substituted. Add water to thin condensed soups.

Crock Pot Turkey Soup

By Jo Rae Johnson Jetton
Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

It only takes a few days of turkey sandwiches before I’m ready for something different. Don’t throw away that leftover turkey, throw it in a pot–a crock pot!

Here’s my favorite recipe. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:

  • Leftover turkey (breast or whole)
  • (2) 32oz Basics Chick Stock or if you saved any turkey stock use it!
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2  cups rice (I used Minute Brown Rice)

Put leftover turkey (all of it) into the crock pot. Add celery and onion and cover with chicken or turkey stock. Cook on low all night.

The following morning, debone turkey and remove bones and skin  from pot. Shred the turkey.

HELPFUL HINT: I use latex gloves (the throw away kind) for all kinds of projects. The turkey will be hot when you debone it, so I put on gloves to protect my hands from the heat.

Add rice (in my case instant) and put lid back on the pot. Leave crock pot set on low. It will be ready to serve in just a few hours or when you return home.
