Mimi's House: "Everything But The Kitchen Sink" Soup

Welcome

Welcome Friends!! This little blog is for all my friends and family that have requested I share my recipes and other homemaking ideas… As most of you know, we moved onto a 64 acre farm about two years ago… we still have our Family Nights, but now many of us live up here on the farm: Mom and Dad live with Lanny and I, Paula built her house in one of the existing barns, Robbie and Molly built inside the big barn by us… You can check it all out on our blog the Johnson Gap Chronicles… Anyway, I am still fermenting and brewing all over my kitchen, but our Tuesday night dinners are not as large as they used to be. All the grands except 2 are grown, have jobs, live in other cities, and with the recent Covid insanity (and our daughter-in-laws heart transplant) James and Tasha are not out much lately. We just move on and look forward to better days. Thanks for peeking in… check back now and then and I promise to add new recipes and ideas as I am inspired :-) God bless!!

"Everything But The Kitchen Sink" Soup

Don't throw away those leftovers. Even if you have just a few bites of something put it in a container in the freezer. I save leftovers until I am ready for a big pot of soup and then go for it. I make some pretty big pots of soup for our family dinners. Looks like an awful mess, doesn't it?

Well, it turned out delicious! I had leftover pintos, corn, spaghetti sauce, sauerkraut, pork and beans, spinach...and I don't even remember what else. If you liked it the first time, you'll probably like it again. Seriously, use your homemade broth, add a can of tomatoes and maybe some shredded cabbage. You won't believe how great a big pot of left over soup can be!
