Soups & Salads

 We find ourselves eating all sorts of soups and salads several times each week! From broths to soups, and from fun salads to toppings!

Cooking everyday leaves me with different leftover ingredients in the kitchen. I make it a habit to repurpose the ingredients by creating soups and salads with what I already have. It takes less time and effort but still has all the comforts of a well-prepared meal.
