This week I made soup using two single serve packets of baby carrots, 4 ribs
of celery, most of a medium onion (all chopped), two cooked hamburger
patties, broken in pieces, 2 cans kidney beans (white and red), 3 medium red
potatoes cut in small chunks, 1 can beef broth, 1 can (15 oz?) chopped
tomatoes and the same size can of tomato sauce. Seasoned with salt, pepper,
parsley, Greek whole oregano and two bay leaves. I did add a little water,
but not much. Cooked with the lid on for about 15 minutes then with the lid
off for perhaps another 5 minutes until the potatoes were tender. I don't
usually use beef broth in soup but it really added a richness. And it was
of course better the next day. Husband and I ate it once. I ate it again
and there will be enough left for me for tomorrow. Then probably a small
amount left after that. Perfect! And apparently for me, the trick to not
making too much soup to begin with is using a smaller pot.

Why only "most" of a medium onion, why not use it all... did you put
that little bit back to stink up your fridge?

Because I had it leftover from when I make my hummus wrap. I only cut off a
little slice for that. I opted to just use it up and not cut up another
one.

Apparently if the food is not already chopped up or made into "patties", you don't like it. You really are worthless.

Huh? *I* chopped it up. And I only used the patties because I had no other
meat to use.

Thoughts meander like a restless wind
Inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
