Sometimes making a meal that tastes good out of the things I actually have on hand seems like a difficult task.  Especially when I slack off and don't really plan ahead.  That's how its been for awhile around here, and last week I found that I had a lot of food in the house, but nothing that made a very good sounding meal.  Deciding that I couldn't bear to go to the store AGAIN, I decided to force myself to make something with the ingredients on hand.

Using odds and ends of things I'd made and frozen earlier in the month + a few items from the cupboard, I came up with a recipe for soup that was both delicious and filling.  I'll definitely make it again, especially since I usually have most of these items in the house.
