white bean what's-left-in-the-fridge soup

Whisk in pot over low heat:
  • leftover mashed potatoes (~ 1 cup)
  • skim milk (~ 3/4 cup?)

Add:

  • navy beans with some water (hydrated over the weekend) (~ 2/3 cup?)
  • frozen broccoli florets (enough to make the soup nicely populated)
  • crumbled hard-boiled egg yolk (1)

Spices:

  • dill
  • basil
  • Trader Joe mushroom umami
  • onion powder
  • garlic powder
  • smoked paprika
  • small packet of probably Teriyaki left over from a Trader Joe frozen something.
Today I learned that it is important to crumble the egg yolk completely before adding it to the soup. It won't dissolve on its own. (Instead I had to chase it with spoon and mini-whisk to crumble it in the soup.)

I tried some and thought it was pretty good.

I told my younger daughter "There's soup!"  

She knew enough not to ask "What kind?" 

She took a small bowlful. 

I asked her opinion: Thumbs up. 

Yay.
