See that big container, next to the blueberries and on the side of the ice trays on the top shelf? That is my freezer soup bucket.

What is freezer soup, you might wonder?

Freezer soup is something that takes weeks to make, but boy is it good and it’s ALWAYS different!

We start with whatever leftover veggies we have for dinner. Beans? Corn? Crockpot veggies? Doesn’t matter. What doesn’t get eaten, just gets put into the freezer soup bucket. And the next night and the next night. Layer upon layer of yummy good stuff.

And when it’s full, we thaw it out, through it in a pot, maybe add a can of stewed tomatoes or maybe some sliced carrots, whatever we might have on hand and simmer until it smells wonderful. Add a little spice, maybe a little water or chicken stock…. sometimes I’ll throw in a little rice or noodles… whatever is around.

It’s a great way to make use of all those bits of veggies that get left at dinner time. Unless you are one of those families that does a good job of finishing up everything, freezer soup is a fun way to have something good and easy to make into something good and homemade!
