Leftover Soup

This is a 100% Denney creation. We had a lot of leftover veggies, one hot dog, a bit of chicken, and decided to make a soup. From the picture, it probably looks way scary. Don't be afraid. This isn't so much of a "cook this recipe" but a "look what you can do if you try." We used this recipe for our basis. We used the same seasonings, and proportions. But we used some chicken, one hot dog, and our vegetables were different. We also chose not to use beans. Our veggies included corn, mushrooms, celery, maybe carrots. Honestly, I'm having a hard time remembering. The hot dog taste was a bit weird, because it didn't really feel right. But the taste of the soup was not bad. We were pretty darn impressed with ourselves. So this is just a testament to experimenting with your tools. You slowly build up an arsenal of recipes you are comfortable and familiar with. Use those as tools and get creative. Sometimes because you just want to be creative and other times because you just aren't sure what you can make with the odds and ends in your fridge. Just don't be afraid to try!
