I have a bunch of mushy eggplant that we froze from last years crop.
Any ideas on what I can make with it? Soup? I can't seem to find much.
Thanks

Chop it up and cook it with some chopped tomatoes, bell peppers,
mushrooms, zucchini, garlic and cilantro. Add some crushed pepper if you
like it spicy. Served with roasted or grilled chicken.

Moroccans would probably add cumin. If you like it, add it.

Poor Man's Caviar, ratatouille, caponata.

Personally I've never been able to freeze just eggplant without it
degrading badly when thawed. I have successfully frozen moussaka,
ratatouille, and caponata and thawed with good success.

Don't freeze eggplant! Toss this stuff and get some fresh.

Been there, done that, they still come from the freezer mushy and not so
tasty.

Puree with EVOO, put in fancy schmancy little jars, and market it as an
edible bust enhancing creme.

I bet it can be used for an eggplant caponata.

To all of you that honestly tried to be helpful, thank you. Enough

As already mentioned, it would be fine for baba ghanoush. I made an
eggplant-cinnamon ice cream for Memorial Day in which the eggplant was
puréed; mushy eggplant would be fine for that as well.

It was dee-lish. You never would have guessed it had eggplant in it.
