What Could You Make From Your Pantry?
Did you ever think about what you could make for dinner if you could only use your pantry? It’s almost like a challenge to make meals from only what you have on hand.
I think I probably would end up making a soup. I would use a combination of broth and water and maybe some tomatoes from a can as the base.
I have half a bag of lentils that I could add to the soup. I’d like to put some vegetables in but I usually don’t buy canned vegetables. I get fresh or frozen vegetables.
I have a variety of spices on hand at all times. My favorite right now is celery seed. It gives a great celery flavor without the soggy vegetables.
I always have some pasta. I think I even have some soup type pastas. They were discontinuing it at my store and I bought a few boxes at half price.
It might not be too creative but I would make a soup with just the ingredients from my pantry. What would you make?
