I thought I would repost this link... it has lots of great stuff if you explore. The link here is just a starting point for roaming around.

What made me think about reposting the link is that it is getting cooler (finally!) and I love a hot plate of stew. Soup and stew are along the same lines, just depends on how thick you make the liquid. I totally love both! One of the better hints I have had, when short on patience to blend flour or cornstarch to thicken a broth, throw leftover bread in there and after like 15 minutes, stir well. The broth or gravy has a slightly different consistency, but the bread desolves and works wonderfully as a thickening agent.
I will make both soup and stew out of almost any leftovers. While not terribly palatable during the summer months (when I tend to stick more with cold foods, like pasta salads), I am really looking forward to hearty, cold weather eating!
When making it specifically, what are some of your favorite soup/stew recipes? Also, when just throwing leftovers together, what have been some of your better results?
