It happens from time to time; there are too many remnants in the fridge to justify going out and cooking a nice new tasty meal. Soup can be a tasty way to clean all those remnants because lends itself to so many ingredients. I have no recipe. I wasn't even going to try but figured I would use this post to advocate the occasional leftover soup to help prevent waste and clean out that fridge. What did I use that was lurking in my fridge? Well I had some: pancetta, prosciutto, clam juice, chicken broth, v8, the dregs of a jar of marinara, parsnips, red cabbage, red onion, carrots,celery, pimentos, mushrooms, Parmesan rind and heaping tablespoon of jarred pesto sauce. I just sauteed the pancetta in some olive oil and added the rest of the non liquid ingredients and sauteed them a bit. Added the liquid ingredients and some water and the rind and let it cook about a half an hour on low. It was pretty good. Not 5 star but hey pretty tasty way to clean out the fridge.
