Kitchen Sink Soup

Every couple of weeks I make a soup from leftovers in the fridge. This weekend I had an unusual amount of unused bagged veggies - so I came up with a new version of a fast soup from ingredients I do not typically use in a homemade soup.

The result was something really great.

Here is what I made.

Soup Ingredients:

2 cleaned heads of romaine - sliced thin (replaced celery which I did not have)

2 leaks - cleaned and sliced thin

1 yellow onion - sliced

1 large shallot - sliced

1 bag of shredded coleslaw mix

1 bag of shredded carrots

2 diced carrots

1 summer squash - sliced

2 cups chicken bone broth

2 cups water

2 TBL Balsamic Vinegar

Herbs de Provence, garlic powder, salt and lots of black pepper

Ground chicken in tomato sauce - leftover from a pasta dinner

Directions:

I added a little olive oil into my soup pot. When hot I sautéed the onions and shallots for 5 minutes then tossed all of the above vegetables, the spices, salt, pepper, garlic powder and got everything stirred and mixed together.

After 4-5 minutes I added the 2 cups of bone broth and water, the balsamic and brought everything to a light boil for 25 minutes.

As an after thought - I added the rest of my ground chicken in tomato sauce. Boy, did that make a huge difference.

Heated the soup for another 15 minutes.

Fabulous. I have an amazing soup for the week.

ENJOY!
