Mmmmm Chicken Soup!

The key to good soup is knowing that you've maximized the potential of your leftovers and aging vegetables. This is chicken soup with carrots, celery, onions, zucchini, mushrooms, garlic, and potatoes. I can't tell you how delicious and nutritious it was. I used last nights chicken and whatever vegetable I could find in the fridge.

Our second course was sort of a mousaka: tomatoes and eggplant. It wasn't good but it was as my father used to say about a lousy meal: "edible." It was kind of bland. Maybe it would have been better if I had sauteed it with garlic. Oh well.
