What do you do when you have a lot of veggies? You make a hot salad, aka soup.
1. Can of Chunky Chicken Noodle Soup
2. Cucumber
3. Squash
4. Bell pepper
5. Banana pepper
6. Onion
7. Pineapple added for sweetness
8. Bacon, added for flavor and saltiness
Use the food processor/blender to blend the chicken soup by itself, then cut up and add each of the remaining items one by one to your taste preference.
Add anything else you have you think should be added. The consistency turned out more like a pea soup so it is a light soup. To make this soupiness thicker and heartier, I could have added some potatoes that were microwaved until soft and then blended in, but the food processor was close to overflowing.
This method makes it easy to hide things and get rid of certain leftovers. It also makes vegetables easier to consume for those who are not able to chew sturdy veggies or don't like them. It also removes the need to cook these veggies. After blending everything, pour into individual bowls and microwave until warm.
There are still six squash and two cucumbers left and more on the way.
By the way, I also consider stir fry as another form of a hot salad. I guess a casserole would also fall into this category. Definitely a smoothie does.
