I haven't posted about Humble Soup in a while, but I do keep making it. Any quick soup you make using whatever you happen to have can be humble. You don't need recipes or fancy ingredients, although it helps to keep certain things in stock. Like stock. Either homemade or bought, animal or vegan, it's up to you. Frozen veg is great, because it's inexpensive and it doesn't go bad. Leftovers are good. I like to get a rotisserie chicken each week. #HumbleSoup #CheapMeal #QuickMeal #leftovers 1/2

@thecrushedviolet check out #humblesoup for lots of creative examples of quick soup meals I make using whatever I happen to have on hand. Not recipes really, just ideas. I eat lots of soup because it's soothing, easy to make, and it helps use up small bits of leftovers.

@punishmenthurts may I welcome you to the wonderful concept of #humblesoup? I make it all the time. It's no particular recipe, just any quick soup you can make with whatever you have available, including leftovers, small amounts of whatever, frozen foods, those sauces lurking in the fridge door, and some broth. The trick is to always have a few staples, like broth, or a rotisserie chicken, or a roast. Saves $, and gives you easy variety. Check the hashtag for ideas. 🥣🍛

Today's #humblesoup is shrimp with some yogurt, white cheese, broth, and a can of green chillies. Really good for the minimal effort involved. I was craving enchiladas with green sauce, but this is the closest I could get with the ingredients on hand, and still #keto. #quickmeal

Today's #humblesoup is mushroom, kale, and merguez sausage, with goat cheese crumbles. I used homemade chicken broth for the liquid. It's mildly spicy, and the lamb gives it a sophisticated twist. #food #quickmeal #keto #leftovers #cooking

Today's #humblesoup is bratwurst and mushroom, with chicken broth, gouda and bleu cheese, yellow tomatoes, Greek yogurt, and green onions. The sausage is leftover, and the mushrooms were dried ones that have been in the pantry forever. Extremely tasty and satisfying. Only took a few minutes to prepare. #quickmeal #keto #cooking #leftovers

Today's #humblesoup is squash and roast beef. I sautéed some sweet peppers and yellow squash in olive oil infused with shallot, and added a few anchovies in memory of Jennifer Patterson of Two Fat Ladies fame. We freeze meats in portions, and this is the last bit of an excellent roast. Deeply nourishing. #quickmeal #keto #cooking

@corbden would homemade broth be more cost-effective? I save our bones in the freezer until I have enough to make a pot, and then I freeze it in portions to use as soup. If you have enough connective tissue, you get a gelatin rich result. If you have an instant pot, it will cook in an hour or two. Check out my #humblesoup tag for some ideas about tasty things to make with whatever you have on hand.

Today's #humblesoup is a version of Manhattan clam chowder, only with smoked mussels in tomato fennel sauce. I built it on some mediocre chicken soup I made yesterday, just added the can and some cheddar cheese to thicken. It's really rich and tasty. #quickmeal #keto #leftovers #cooking

Today's #humblesoup is chayote, or mirleton squash with rotisserie chicken. I had a bunch of little tomatoes that needed eating up, so in they went with some yogurt and swiss/gruyere cheese. It's a very mild, undemanding soup. Almost bland, yet pleasant. #quickmeal #keto #cooking
