Leftover Soup
I have a large family: a husband and our 8 kids. At the end of the week I use the accumulated leftovers and make a wonderful soup. I usually have everything I need in the cupboard (canned tomatoes or tomato paste, beans of any kind, noodles of any kind, frozen chicken broth I save after stewing chickens or leftover beef broth I save after doing a roast); and then I toss in almost all leftovers. This might vary each week with the type of vegetables and meat I might have. Believe it or not almost all my kids and husband love this soup everytime! I use the largest pot I have and dump it all in. It lasts in our house for at least another meal or 2. I have used leftover roast beef, chicken, pork, etc...fresh tomatoes, canned, paste or sauce. I don't dump in pizza and stuff like that, but little bits of any kind of veggie and meat or even sauces and gravies or mashed potatoes. Since I do a small garden I usually add fresh carrots, zuchini or whatever I might have. After it simmers for a while and you season it up, it is one of my favorite meals. If you don't think you have enough leftovers after 1 wk, freeze in baggies or containers until you do.
