So, we had a slice of pot roast and some gravy. I needed to make dinner, didn't want to waste. Added 2 Cups of veggie broth (can be made from veggie scraps), several assorted bags of frozen veggies with 1/2 cup or less of veggies buried in the freezer, 1/2 cup barley, 1 small can stewed tomatoes, chopped up discounted vegetable section mushrooms, generic seasoning (salt, pepper, onion, garlic) ...and voila! BEEF BARLEY SOUP!!(ta-da!) Will adding potato pancakes made with left over mashed potatoes.
Never ignore the discounted produce section. I often grab items and freeze then for future use, like the mushrooms in the Beef Barley soup. A little bit of left over gravy makes a flavorful base and/or flavoring for soup. Even the littlest bit of left over anything can be put in the freezer to be thrown into a soup pot in the future...even past soups! Just use your imagination and save $$ at the same time!!
