I'm sure most of you do this, but I was telling my aerobics class, and some of them had not heard of it, so I thought I'd post it. I'm also sure that I will get more ideas from y'all - the real creative ones!
Growing up my mom always kept a soup box in the freezer. For us it was a large Tupperware box. Anytime she had a small amount of leftovers she'd add it to the box. That 1/4 cup of butter beans, or spaghetti sauce that was left with no noodles, rice, etc. - she'd add it to the box in the freezer. Eventually, you can take it out, add some stock or broth, maybe a can of diced tomatoes and have a large pot of soup. I've only done this a few times, because in all honesty - since there is only two of us, we can usually make any amount of leftovers work. But it has come in handy when we have a large amount of something and are tired of eating on it. After the third or fourth time, it can get old. I've added chicken, roast, all kinds of stuff, and it usually turns out pretty good.

Actually, I was fortunate enough to sample some of Kristi's most recent batch of soup, and it was delicious. I need to revive this practice in my own kitchen.....
you know, I don't do this, but I do something similar with fruit. if any fruit that we have starts to get overripe, I just throw it in a bag in the freezer, and John pulls from it to make his morning smoothie.
