Plan Ahead!

Soup made from scratch can be a simple affair of 3 or 4 fresh ingredients and can be wonderful; but sometimes it's nice to have something a bit more involved.  The way around it is to make extra, in batches, and to freeze it in amounts just right to assemble a single serving later.  Today I set aside 2 cups of broth from a steak and vegetable soup and froze it in an ice tray.  One frozen cube is just about one ounce, so 8 cubes of a variety of ingredients will make a cup of soup!  My ice trays, simple cheap plastic ones, make 16 cubes.
