Going to be very unsophisticated here - hamburger soup made with beef stock that we saved from sometime or other and just found in the freezer and whatever vegetables turn up in an exploratory expedition into the depths of the 'fridge.
I was doing something similar a few weeks ago. ( I think I was adding turnips to my bean soup ) My mom commented she had an Aunt that used to make Saturday Refrigerator soup. Whatever was left in there from the week went for a swim! Said it was pretty good more often than not. Definitely a great way to utilize what you have and cut down on waste.
Lynn, those porcupine balls sound pretty good. Kinda a tomatoishy Italian wedding soup or Albondigos.
