Making The Best Of Leftovers

 I have always been The Leftover Queen, I can't abide throwing good food out. This is not a recipe, just a good tasty idea for Waste Not Want Not... I am also a believer that soup is not just a Winter Dish. It's an AnyTime Dish


In the fridge were 2 containers of food, leftover from yesterday. Some mushroom soup, incidentally which was store bought. Plus cold boiled potatoes, corn cobs and a little broccoli for that touch of green, all leftover from last night's dinner

Instead of making croutons to sprinkle on the soup, I decided to chop up the Vege and sprinkle them on top...as simple as that

The soup needed a little extra zing, so I heated it up with some cream, just enough to thin it down a bit and make it extra creamy.

Meanwhile I chopped up the potatoes, stripped the corn off the cob, broke up the broccoli, popped them into a pan, on medium heat, which contained some butter

Turned the heat up...so that the potatoes would get some colour, seasoned them with some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

About 4-5 minutes was enough

I grabbed a pretty serving bowl, filled it up with the hot soup, scattered the Vege on top and                        

Voila... Lunch and Delicious it was too
