Salvage Soup


When I returned home on Saturday with the vegetables, I pulled my vegetable bins out to clean and put the newly purchased produce in. In amongst the old stuff was an almost limp stalk of celery and bunch of green onion. They weren't quite ready for the heap, so I decided to make soup. I finely chopped these and other ingredients: one organic carrot, one of the beefsteak tomatoes, a can of stewed tomatoes, a can of vegetable broth. I added tarragon, basil, seasoned salt, barley, and towards the end, leftover brown rice. The end result was a robust soup that rivaled my previous favorite which was made with a soup bone and bits of sirloin. Yum!
