I loved your "must-go" soup! I must confess that I've been making that must-go soup for a long time myself, and every time it just gets better and better, lol, although I've never heard it named like that, but it sure sounds like a great name! Such a special story you shared too! Thank you for taking the time to share a special memory :) <br /><br />And, thank you for your sweet words about my pictures. I enjoy photograph so much, and for now it is just a hobby to share the beauty of the Lord's creation with others, and there is a special joy that comes in doing that!

Just gorgeous! Honestly, the...Oh, these photos!!! Just gorgeous! Honestly, they should grace the pages of magazines, I tell you!! :) You do an amazing job! And that leftover transformation was just wonderful!! Yum...I love doing things like this, too. One of my favorite things is to make "must-go soup"! Let me explain. Years ago, my parents and I worked at our church's nursing home for a while, and Mom and Dad were in charge of buying the groceries for the home. One day while in the kitchen with the administrator trying to determine what groceries were needed, he turned to Dad and said, "We can make some must-go soup." Of course, Dad had no idea what he meant, until he explained that it is when you look at all of your leftovers in the refrigerator and decide that everything must go, then you turn that into soup!! I do this, for example, when I have a bit of spaghetti sauce left or sloppy joes or gravy, I will use that as the start of a soup base, then add fresh carrots, potatoes, onions, etc. to turn it into a soup...things like that! Living frugally has taught me to get really creative in the kitchen in order to stretch a meal as far as it can possibly be stretched!! LOL! I love reading your sweet posts, and you are always such a dear blessing and encouragement to me! Sending you big hugs and much love across the miles!! :)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891257905649460436noreply@blogger.com
