Read More2nd Day Soup! Keep playing with your leftovers for creative control, nutritional amplification & as a way to exercise responsibly frivolity with food. #DeliciousLeftover
#NaturalBeauty can be so delicious 😋 This #SoupTime happened due to a produce abundance, leftover quinoa, & an interest to eat soon. Find what’s fresh & lovely (& organic & on sale) & go crazy. Soup is a canvas, even as leftovers! 🍲🎨 It’s also awesome as 2nd day soup, and as future frozen meal soup, which is why we like to make a huge pot almost every time. On the other hand, this is so easy you can also feel great about making a half recipe.
