At Make-Do Mondays we discuss how we’re simplifying, downsizing, repurposing, buying used, and using what we’ve got.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
This past week I have been spending a lot of time with my school work. Learning everything I need to know about the Pharmacy is a challenge.
However, I am up to this challenge!
I have not spent much time on the computer and Make-Do Monday this past week.
I am still interested in hearing about your frugal successes!
So please still link up and share!!

Make-Do Mondays with Shari
Saturday night we had Lasagna for dinner and thankfully we had leftovers as well. So on Sunday it was time for lunch and I wanted to do something a bit different with the leftover lasagna.
So I took a saucepan and placed it on the stove, I poured one can of chicken broth in the pan. It was about a 13 to 15 oz sized can. Then I added another can of water to the pan.
As the broth water was heating up, I cut the now cold lasagna into bite sized dices. Then I dumped them into the pan.
I let the 'soup' heat up and did not add anything else- such as seasonings.
When it was thoroughly heated through, I ladled it into bowl and topped each bowl with a pinch of pizza blend grated cheese.
(That is what I had on hand.)
And served it up to my hungry teens. They both loved it! Success was had.
It was a frugal use of leftovers and it did not seem like leftovers because it was a whole new dish. We all loved it and I will be making Lasagna Soup again!!!
Most of the time when we have lasagna, we don't have enough leftover to make another meal. So I can see myself putting a Freezer Ziplock Bag in my freezer to gather the smaller lasagna leftovers together in.
And after a couple of lasagna meals I will surely have enough to make soup again.
I imagine this would work with leftover taco fixings, any pasta dish, casserole, etc. I would evaluate my ingredients and decide whether to add broth, water or milk to make a delicious soup.
Thanks for reading and thanks for sharing!!!

If the main button is too big, try this one:
Due to just how much this family LOVES lazagna, IF we have leftovers, it's not much, and they get 'fought' over. I am positive that I shall both remember and use your idea in the future :-D
ReplyDeleteWonderful creativity!!!
What a terrific idea, lasagne soup! I've got to remember that!
