Our cats come running when I drain canned tuna juice for them.
Never want for meat or veggie broth by merely saving what you already have. Have a large container/s in the freezer and add to it every time you drain canned veggies or have meat broth leftover from dinner. Boil down the Thanksgiving turkey carcass for broth. Save that Christmas hambone for a pot of beans.
And for goodness sake, peel broccoli stems, etc. to eat. The ends of onions that are initially cut off have a tablespoon or more of onion. Don’t let last night’s take out go bad. A teeny bit of leftovers of this and that and whatever is in the veggie bin or basket that needs to be used quickly can be turned into a soup or pizza or casserole. We Americans throw out more food than they eat.
Everything that gets tossed in the garbage is something you worked hard for. Think of it this way, would you something out that costs 5 minutes of pay that equaled the time you had to deal with cranky customers or a horrid boss?
Salad Soup. All you do is boil a potato and leftover salad in beef or chicken broth. Add seasonings to taste. When potato is done, whirl in blender. Put into a bowl, and stick a pat of butter in the middle. Very tasty.
