I'm a frugal shopper and cook. I hate to waste anything, and recalled once that I read about a blogger's idea for saving potato peels and making them into soup. So, when I would use peeled potatoes, I would scrub the potatoes and save the peelings into a container that I stored in my freezer until it was full. I had 3 cups worth of peels last night, so I made potato peel soup. I copied and pasted from the website that gave me ideas for my ingredients. I'm going to add that next, then the list of ingredients that I used, as well as the nutrition information. The soup was quite good and made ten 2 cup servings, each of which was only 125 calories. It is a lot of soup, so you can cut the recipe in half if you have a smaller household. I'm feeding 7 teens and adults right now, so I had to make a cauldron of it.
"Save the peels from washed potatoes and simmer them in the Chicken Stock along with the chopped carrots, onions and celery. Simmer until all is tender, about 30 minutes. Add fresh herbs and spices to your liking. Add some milk or half-and-half, then salt and pepper to taste. This is really a very good soup, especially if you add fresh dill and parsley. This recipe serves 8."
Here are my ingredients:
3 cups of potato peels
2 cups sliced fresh carrots
2 cups chopped celery
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 cups of cooked rice (I had this leftover, so added it)
6 tsp Better than Bouillon chicken soup base
12 cups water
parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper to taste, or your preferred herbs
Add all ingredients except rice to pot, bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer. Simmer for 30 minutes, then add rice and stir to heat through. Serve with bread.
I did not add any milk to my recipe. You can add milk or cream to yours, depending on your tastes and nutrition needs. This should fit into a large crock pot if the recipe is cut in half, and can cook on low all day.
Nutrition per 2 cup serving:
calories: 125
protein: 3
fat: 0
calcium: 6
sodium: 461 (not counting any further added salt, aside from the better than bouillon chicken base)
fiber: 20 -

I make easy healthy soups - easy because you dont need to measure anything:
Here's one example:
2 sweet potato's
can of kidney beans
can of broad beans
1 leek
5 tomato's
lentils (how ever many you want or 1 to 2 cupfuls) - use the ones that dont need soaking
2 onions
2 cloves of garlic
1 bell pepper (any colour)
a few chili flakes or if you like hot food put a half cayenne pepper in - I found this much too hot though
vegetable stock ( make up a small jug)
Directions:
1) peel and chop sweet potato - put these in a pot of boiling water until they are soft
2) peel and cop onions and crush garlic - fry these in a pan
3) chop up tomatos and chilli's - add these to the frying pan
4) chop up leek + pepper into small pieces - add these to the frying pan
5) put all the ingredients that are in the frying pan into a blender of mixer or food processor or use a stick blender, add the sweet potato's then blend together
6) put everything into a saucepan
7) add the beans + lentils
8) add the vegetable stock - a little bit if you like thick soup OR put lots in if you like runnier soup
9) add the lentils
10) stir and put the lid on the saucepan and cook until the lentils are soft (about 20 minutes)
Any other vegetables can be added at step 7 as long as they are cooked - the sweet potato gives a lot of vitamin A and the beans and lentils are a good source of protein. I have also added quorn chicken which tastes really good but needs to be put in right at the end as it falls apart if cooked too long.0 -
These all look good. I have also been looking for some recipes.0

I just made meatloaf last night in my crockpot. Use ground turkey and followed the instructions on the seasoning packet. And, since my hubby n I love spicy food, I added chopped up serrano chiles to half of it. Leaving the other half chile free for our kids.0
