End of the week and all we had in the fridge was a little of this and that. Herself made this outstanding soup for lunch that's worth the bragging rights.We had two grilled sweet Italian sausages; 3 strips of bacon; some leftover chicken; half a small onion; leftover carrots and kale. She sauteed the sausage, bacon, chicken and onion in a dutch oven on the campfire. She then added the carrots and 8 cups of water to the d.o. and let it simmer an hour. At the end she added the kale. Then she took a couple of leftover breakfast biscuits and put one each in a bowl and ladled the soup overtop. Sadly there's not enough left for supper. :RTime to hit the store and re-stock.

That sounds good! Sometimes, the best dishes are experiments but the sad thing is, it might never be duplicated again. ;)

Glad you were able to write out how a leftover dish was made. Always the first dish to forget how you did it for my memory banks:).Still probing my mother's brain for how she made a bean, veggie and dumpling soup I recall fondly from 40 years back. When pushed, she says it was from hunger, LOL.

We call it "refrigerator stew". Unfortunately, my DH is NOT fond of it!!! That's okay, I make it.....and I eat it. :) he can have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

I happen to love the dishes Herself invents. Tell your husband he is missing out on the finer things in life.

My husband's family calls this soup "Seldom" because it seldom is the same. We both like it and it sure uses up the leftovers.

Our last camping day we had "what the hell" eggs, taking all the leftovers and scrambling them up into a mess of eggs. Sometimes it turned out just wrong, but most of the time it was good. Of course anything eaten outside, in the woods tastes better.

I find home canned broth real handy for that kind of soup. Restaurant leftovers often end up as soup, especially Mexican. Leave no chips behind, because they are good in the soup.

Chinese usually ends up with leftover fried rice, it. If the rice is plain, it becomes rice pudding.

A friends mother in law called it Mustgo Soup. If it was leftover in the frig, and it was getting old, it must go! The first time I heard her say mustgo, I thought she was saying musco and I wondered if it was animal somewhat kin to a muskrat!

Mom used to make something like that with left overs from the fridge, mostly vegetable of one sort or another. She called it "slumgullion" and I loved it.

Refrigerator soup was a staple when I was a kid. Things were hard to come by so nothing was wasted. Seems that is a lost philosophy today,it seems to be a throw away society.

Our Winnebago club has what they call "Pitch-In Soup" where everyone brings a can of soup (Except creamed soups), and we dump them into a roaster and let cook for an hour or so. It's always came out the best soup ever.
