By the use of left over foods, pastas, meats, vegetables, etc,... and adding water.
I have found some of my best soups have derived from this little step in soup making and it cleans up the left overs well too.
One of my favorites is made with either tomato juice or V-8 as a base. Just add fresh veggies and simmer till veggies are tender. Quick, easy and yummy!
buy a chuck roast and cut it into 1 or 2 inch pieces brown it in 1 or 2 tablespoons of oil (in the pan you plan to cook it in) then add enough water to cover it too much will make it watery. put a lid on it and turn the flame way down real low so that the water in the meat simmer slowly, for about 2 hours or until meat will cut with a fork. then add a small amount of carrots like two chopped into bite size hen put 3 small potatoes cut into bite size pieces then cut small some celery about 2 stalks, you can put any veggies you like just remember to put only small amounts even if you like them a lot. oh you should put an onion in whole after removing the skin to simmer with the meat and a few cloves of garlic if you haven't fresh garlic then use powder. you can put can tomatoes and a can of corn. salt and pepper to taste. just salt lightly in the beginning because after cooking it will get salty on its own.after the veggies are done you can eat it. you can add water and a bit of beef bullion if it hasnt enough water to suit you

Cook the bacon in a soup pot over medium heat until crisp. Add the onion, pepper, celery and garlic. Reduce the heat to low and cover.

Nummy Baked Potato Soup
Serve this warming potato soup for lunch or for supper. Baked potatoes give it a unique flavor.Ingredients:
? 5 medium russet potatoes
? 7 Tbsp. butter
? 2/3 c. all-purpose flour
? 6 c. milk
? Salt and pepper
? 1 c. dairy sour cream
? 5 strips of bacon, fried crisp and crumbled or 3 oz. of real bacon bits
? 2 green onions, sliced
? 1 8oz package shredded cheddar cheese
?
Method:
Bake potatoes; cool. Melt butter in large soup pot. Add flour and whisk to combine. Add milk slowly, whisking to combine. Chop cooled potatoes, including skin, into bite-size cubes. Sprinkle potatoes with salt and pepper. Add to soup. Stir well. Simmer slowly, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Stir in sour cream, bacon and green onions. Garnish with shredded cheese.
Notes:
This soup really has a baked potato flavor. I have also made this recipe in a lower fat version: use skim milk and non-fat sour cream and reduce butter to 5 tablespoons and still very tasty. To bake potatoes, scrub potatoes. Pierce all over with a fork. Place in a 425 degree oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until tender.
Hope these help. Good luck.
When i make soup I add water but you have to add chicken bullion for it to have flavor. Or if you are making a soup with meat add meat bullion and water instead of stock.
