I call that "Refrigerator Soup". Whatever I can find in the refrigerator goes in the soup.
Yesterday I had a bunch of leaves and the stalk from a cauliflower, so I made a cheap version of cauliflower soup. I added half an onion, a couple of cloves of garlic, a bit of cumin and some chicken stock. I simmered it for half an hour then pureed it with my immersion blender ( I REALLY like my immersion blender). It was very very good.
Today I finished up the last of the beef and barley soup I made a couple of days ago.
