This is a great leftover recipe.

I used all my leftover vegetables including that one lonely potato.

One large diced onion

Two diced celery stalks

One diced leftover potato

1/4 cup butter

One cup chopped bok choy

3/4 cups leftover peas

About 12 leftover asparagus spears cut into bite size pieces

One cup water

Two chicken bouillon cubes

2 tablespoons corn starch

2 cups of milk or half and half

One teaspoon grated lemon rind

The juice of 1/2 a lemon

1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg

Melt the butter in a pan

Add the onion and celery

Cook till soft

Add the potato for two minutes

Add the box choy

Mix the water with the cornstarch and mix in the bouillon cubes

Add to the vegetables and bring to a slow boil

Add the milk, asparagus and peas.

Add the nutmeg, lemon juice and rind

Simmer for about ten minutes on medium low till everything is hot.

I made this twice.

Once with all my leftover vegetables and the second time with fresh vegetables.

Both were delicious

The fresh vegetable soup was greener.

Use pepper to taste but be careful with the salt because the bouillon is salty.

I found this and several other  nice recipes from the Genius Kitchen on Pinterest but I did change it a little.
