Hello all!! It has been a while since my last post, but I had a BBQ grillout with some friends on Sunday and had some leftovers. I was actually shocked at how delicious this turned out.....I expected it to just be a next day meal that was meh...but EVERYONE loved it!!! So I had to put it on here! Leftover Veggie Tray included:
Broccoli
Snap Peas
Baby Carrots
Red Bell Peppers
Celery
I also had about 1/2 sweet onion and 1/2 purple onion leftover as well
I put all my veggies in a food processor and chopped until a fine mince
All together I had roughly 3 cups of minced veggies
Put those all in a large pot
Add
1 can each, cream of mushroom, cream of chicken and cream of celery soups
3 cans of water (I considered using chicken broth but I thought it might end up too salty, perhaps milk might be a good addition too, but I stuck with water)
Mix well and allow to simmer 1 hour
Add an 8 oz brick of softened cream cheese, stir and melt
I also added 6 slices smokehouse cheddar and allowed that to melt
Simmer until the cheese is all melted and the veggies are very tender
I chopped up grilled 4 hot dogs I had and about 4 slices of bacon too and threw that in at the end and heated through.
You can add garlic, salt and pepper to taste too
Topped with some croutons made in my airfryer from leftover hot dog buns and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes!
