When the refrigerator ends up with a variety of odds and ends, it’s time to make soup. Yep, soup is a great way to meld those foods that are begging to be used. For a minestrone-like style, all you need is some fresh ground meat (or not, if you’re making a vegetarian-style soup), garlic, yellow or white onions, veggies, beans, canned or fresh tomatoes, maybe potatoes, and a little pasta. Use whatever you’ve got on hand and take the opportunity to make good use from the little pieces of things in your fridge.
