@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. 🥣🍛

@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.
