Maybe most people do this, but we have started tossing our leftover vegetables into a can of vegetable soup before bringing it to the boil. The vegetables can be boiled or roasted with whatever spices you may have made them with. It will be all the better. So you use up your leftovers and end up eating more vegetables.

Good idea! Veggie soup is always welcome, and especially when the weather gets colder. Valerie
I never buy pre-made soup, but I do fancy making my own with leftover veg. Nothing goes to waste, not even juicing pulp that I get when I use the juicer.
not much leftover here maybe because we cook typical things on typical days at typical portions for people who are so typical when it comes to food
I don't have leftover vegetables but that's a pretty neat idea. It'd make the soup more filling too.
I usually don't eat soup from a can, but I'll keep your tip in mind next time I do. It's a good idea for eating healthier and saving money.
Wonderful idea! Thanks for the tip.
I bet a lot of people don't realize they can do it
Great idea, Christine! I always use my leftovers in a soup or a stir-fry. It's a wonderful way to avoid wasting food, and an easy way to create a quick and tasty meal.
Good tip.
What a smart way to get more veggies and waste less food...
Hahahaha.
A great tip for soups with winter approaching. Sometimes, I also throw in some leftover frozen veggies which have been in the freezer for a while. We eat a lot of soups when it gets cold in Georgia – which for us is around 45 degree F or 7 C – and for Canada may not be that cold…
My Mom used to make "shepherd's pie." She'd take all the leftovers, put them into a casserole dish, then she'd boil a bunch of potatoes, mash them, and spread them over top the leftovers--put the whole kit and kaboodle into the oven and wahlah, a meal for eight. (grin) There were six of us children. :D
I love your idea for soup, too.
