People Are Lapping Up This Yucky 'Garbage Soup' To Save Money

63. The sweet potatoes work well with carrots in broth with a curry.

Heat it up and put it in the food processor. Finish with a bit of cream if you like. The sweet potatoes thicken it just like white potatoes thicken other soups and stews.

Last night I did a cold bean soup using leftover refried beans and a can of black soybeans. I put in some beef broth, tomatoes and onions and a lot of chili powder and cumin. Whizzed that all up in the blender and served it with a drizzle of sour cream and a bunch more diced tomatoes and onions as a garnish. Not bad.

I find that the leftover meats are not nearly as much of an issue for me to get used up but the produce is. I really have to think about how to get some of it turned into meals before it goes bad. I finally came to the realization that pretty much anything I can think of works just fine when cooked in a broth and whizzed in the blender or food processor. Instant soup minus all the salt and chemicals!!!
