Maybe sprinkle with some grated cheese to serve.
Soup was invented to use meal left-overs from the kitchen.


I make mostly cream soups from whatever I have on hand.


Start with 2-3 tbsp oil or butter, mixed with 1/3 cup of flour.


Make a roux (paste) %26amp; whisk in 1 cup of stock or water.


Add 1 cup of grated or chopped vegetables: carrots, broccoli, etc.
