Ok, so I had this leftover meatloaf that no one was going to eat [no one but me likes meatloaf] and I needed to use it up, so I came up with this soup, and it turned out pretty good. I’m really just posting it so I remember how to make it [ha-ha] if you make it, feel free to sub prepared meatballs as well, and to mix up the veggies as to what you have on hand. It makes a lot, but it does freeze okay.

I live alone and was longing for meatloaf, so I made one. But what to do with half a meat loaf when I was already sick of eating it? This recipe! I used canned corn instead of frozen veg, because that's what I had on hand. I also added some diced celery. I omitted the pasta altogether and added a bay leaf. It was a super delicious soup!

This soup was a fabulous idea. I didn't know what to do with my Asian style meatloaf. So I googled leftover meatloaf soup recipe ideas. This came up, so I decided to go with this recipe. It turned out to be very tasty.. However, I added celery, yellow peppers, and bok choy instead of spinach. Plus I use bay leafs to boost the flavor some more. I will definitely be making this again. This was fabulous.
