We all have those times were our refrigerator is burgeoning with leftovers that no one wants to eat. One way I combat that problem is by making dump soup…making soup out of whatever leftovers are found in my refrigerator. The possibilities are endless and no two pots of soup ever taste the same.
Here is the basic recipe for making dump soup. Be creative and have fun! Enjoy! -Janelle
