I too, make soup out of everything I can find in the refrig which might spoil if I don’t use it soon etc…also some good stuff that I’ve frozen for “later”. I think I posted before, that I also use the Misfits Market…every other week seems to work for us, and they tell us that they “rescue” these foods from groceries etc…and since they are mostly organic, I find it works for us - mostly. Since there is only the 2 of us, sometimes when we are not quite up to finishing something or other - mostly the fresh veggies…that become another soup ingredient. LOL
