parmesan rinds


soup. save your parmesan rinds. if this soup doesn’t convince you to bend over & get a freezer bag, nothing will. make a soup using up the fridge/freezer & pantry scraps & give it an italiano flair with a parmesan rind. there is no recipe for this soup. in order for you not to waste time in wonder, here is what i did; i dumped into a crockpot:


½ onion, diced
1 small sweet potato, cubed
3 stalks celery, diced
leftover & frozen tomato paste
leftover frozen pesto
1 frozen parmesan rind
a rosemary branch
chicken stock, enough to top it off. yes, you can use veg stock


when the veggies were almost tender, i threw in
⅓ cup orzo pasta
1 can of cannellini white beans, drained & rinsed


tummy warming & molto bene. you can also use the parmesan rinds in spaghetti sauce! don't try to eat the rind, folks, it's in there for flavor. save those rinds!
