This is a great way to clean out left over veggies. My neighbor lady keeps a container for little dabs of veggies in her freezer. When it gets full, she makes soup. So, this is inspired by her. You could also do this in a crock pot. Play around with the flavors and veggies your family likes. Freezes well.
