As I was saying, when I go to events and meet lots of people all sorts of ideas get generated in my brain, each with greater or lesser degrees of wackiness or outlandishness. Something I was thinking about in my personal life is that I would really like to decrease the amount of food that I throw out. The average North American throws out about 25% of the food they buy, and I certainly meet or surpasse that number. One thing that I think might work in this regard is making soup every several days, and using up everything I can think of that is currently in my fridge by putting it in the soup (or soups). Also, I think I could chuck stuff in the freezer before it goes bad, and then use that for soup too.
One of the items that tends to get thrown out around here is bread. Colin
and I just can’t eat it fast enough to through a whole loaf before it goes
bad. This is particularly the case with me, since I am uber-picky about
the freshness of my bread. So, this led me to wonder if you could make
soup out of bread. And the answer is
yes.
I’m really curious to know what this would be like, but I think it would
actually be good, since the bread is basically fully incoporated into the
soup. I expect it gives the soup a nice smooth texture. And I say this as
someone who is not a cracker or crouton person.
