Making Soup from Leftovers
-
Copyright 2013 by R.A. Robbins
With Fall weather setting in my thoughts are turning to soup. I have a good way of making up a simple soup that also helps make sure leftovers get used up.
Whenever you have leftovers that aren’t enough for a full serving put them in a freezer container and put them in the freezer. Keep adding as you have leftovers. When the container is full it is time to make soup.
So what kinds of leftovers make good soup? Veggies and the cooking liquid, potatoes or sweet potatoes (even mashed will work), meat or fish, grains such as rice, quinoa, buckwheat, etc., leftover salad greens such as spinach or kale, leftover main course dishes such as red beans and rice, stir fry or fried rice. Some types of casseroles will also work and you can even use a bit of leftover soup if you have it.
Combine all your ingredients and heat. You may add more liquid if needed. Taste your soup before adding seasoning since the leftovers were probably already seasoned.

October Follower of the Month: Michael Erb
This month’s Follower of the Month is Michael Erb of ME and the Boss 2013. His inspirational blog with a daily quote and commentary is one of my favorites. He also takes his own photos.
Fruit of the Spirit
” But the
fruit of the Spirit
is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness,
goodness,
faithfulness,
Meekness, temperance:
against such
there is no law.”
— Galatians 5: 22 & 23
In the constant battle between good and evil
it is unfortunate that some souls are lost
when their moral compass is blocked from their heart.
Have faith, believe that God’s law is there to protect you
from the mean and heartless.
Today, be the warrior for the faithful,
keep your moral compass pointed towards
the right side of the God’s law..
Kindness is the fruit of the Spirit.
Kindness is the beginning of a life filled with love.

“The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence. The chief struggle then in gaining mental peace is the effort of revamping your thinking to the relaxed attitude of acceptance of God’s gift of peace.” – Norman Vincent Peale
