CTR Soup

Clean The Refrigerator Soup

1 Tbsp coconut oil or butter

1 onion, chopped

2 stalks celery, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tbsp flour

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

2 1/2 - 3 cups milk (I used rice milk)

1 Tbsp chicken base or bouillon 

1 can white beans, drained and rinsed (don't need to use if you used REAL milk)

2-3 large leftover baked potatoes, diced

1 cup leftover cooked broccoli, chopped

2 cups corn

Bacon, cooked and crumbled

Sauté the onion, celery, and garlic until soft. Add the flour, salt, and pepper. Stir for 1 minute. Add milk, bouillon, and white beans (if used). Bring to boiling. Blend with a stick blender until creamy. Add the potatoes, broccoli, and corn. Heat through. Top with bacon. 

This soup turned out better than I hoped, so I needed to get the recipe down before I forgot it!  I had way too many bits and bobs in the fridge that were on the brink of being tossed. What better way to use them up than throw them in a pot!
