Homemade Leftover Soup...Another Poor Man's Dinner

Its almost the end of the month and this means just a few food items are left in the refrigerator until grocery day.  When this happens in my house...I make soup with the ingredients I have in the fridge.

With that thought in mind I made another Poor Man's Dinner out of a little bit of leftover veggies, chick peas, TVP & Shirataki Spaghetti noodles. Throw in some spices and "OLE" I have a great soup for dinner.

Here is my recipe and I must say I could not eat just 1 bowl, I had 2 bowls with crackers...yummy.

1/2 c. chopped kale

1-1/2 c. cooked barley

2 c. chopped collard greens

3 large size Brussels sprouts

(chopped in small pieces)

1 chopped yellow onion

1 c. cooked garbanzos

1 ripe plantain

( sliced in circles and then sliced in 4)

3 envelopes of Jamom

1 envelope of Sazon

1/2 tsp. salt & black pepper

(use more if you wish)

1 T. onion & garlic powder

1/8 tsp. red crushed pepper

1 T. parsley

1/2 can of tomato sauce

1 T. olive oil

1 T. homemade sofrito

(recipe in my recipe box)

1/2 bag of Shirataki Spaghetti noodles or use any noodles of your choice.

1 container of vegetable broth & 2 cups of water.

Put everything in a large soup pot and boil until soup has become flavorful and saucy.

Serve with a sandwich or crackers.
