potato soup from leftovers
After New Year's dinner, as I was putting away food, I noticed about 2 cups of scalloped potatoes, and almost threw them out. WAIT! I thought, what can I use those in? Potato soup! So right there, instead of putting them in plastic-ware, I dumped them into a small soup pot and added these other ingredients, and Voilà! Potato soup for dinner tonight.
