Cooking & Preserving #12: Surprisingly good soup

Cooking & Preserving
A ”this and that” soup from scratch
You know that PEAR CRUMBLE that I made today?
Well, rather than scrubbing out all the residue of the sweet batter in the pot, I just used it “as is” for my homemade soup.
I thought it would be horrible but, surprisingly, no!!

Ingredients
- Water (I filled the pot about 3/4 full)
- I cut up and added 4 small potatoes
- I cut up and added 1 parsnip
After letting that cook for a while (until the veggies were soft), I added:
- 1 jar of freeze-dried broth
- 1 jar of freeze-dried leftovers (1/3 jar was puréed tomatoes; 1/3 jar was turkey soup; 1/3 jar was biscuits;)
I let everything slowly cook until everything was reconstituted.
The freeze-dried biscuits made the soup more of a stew texture but, because I had started with lots of water, I’d still call it soup.
With lunch being soup and pear crumble, our stomachs were very happy.
