The "Leftover" soup

Got some leftover veggies and meats in the refrigerator?Lets not wait to throw them away..lets Soup them!
This one does not have a fixed recipe.You can use almost any vegetable that you wish to.
I will tell you how to make the one in the picture.So here it goes:

Ingredients:

1. 2 large carrots peeled and one of them chopped.
2. 2 to 3 plump tomatoes.
3. A handful green beans-chopped.
4. 1 big garlic clove.
5. 1 tsp dried Basil.
6. 2 whole chicken legs cut into half.
7. 1/2 large onion.
8. Salt.
9. Chicken/vegetable broth

Process:

I make my soup in my Cast iron dutch oven when I have time but if you don't have enough time, go ahead use your pressure cooker.

• In the blender put the tomatoes and onion.Mince thoroughly and pour in the the utensil you are using.
• When it starts boiling add the whole peeled carrot and the chopped carrots.
• Add the green beans.
• Add salt according to taste
• Add more chicken/vegetable broth and keep boiling.
• When it comes to a boil add the chicken pieces
• Add 1 tsp basil.
• Cover and simmer over medium heat for 1 1/2 hours stirring occasionally.If you feel that the soup has dried up add more broth and let cook.
• After 1 1/2 hours take out the whole carrot from the soup,let it cool,puree it in a blender and add it back to your soup.
• Cook for another 5 minutes.
• Serve hot topped with pepper and Butter.

I use pureed veggies to thicken my soup.Boiled onions are also good if you are not using carrots.
Other veggies that really go well with this soup are mushrooms,cauliflower,cabbage and broccoli.
Enjoy your super simple and Yummy meal!
