Mine is similar to some others' here but I call it Garbage Soup. I had been calling it that for years when I saw the name used in a Rosamund Pilcher novel Winter Solstice.
Anyway, it's similar to those who pull the left-overs out of the frig...with one difference...instead of having those left-overs in the frig, I take the last 4 greenbeans, bit of spaghetti sauce or whathaveyou and it goes into a specially marked "Garbage Soup" container in the freezer. Then when the container is full, I thaw it out and make soup. Sometimes it's got enough left-over taco meat or beans with rice mixtures in it for protein or I might add some Boca meat to it, maybe some boullion cubes -- just depends on what it needs. It's always a different soup.

I'm with most of you folks....my soups don't have a specified ingredients list and hardly even a title! If I made this chicken soup for company, I might add a few things like celery or such, but when I make it at home, its quick and hearty that I look for in a soup:
Chicken Sausage Not-Quite-Gumbo Soup
Chicken off the bone and cut or pulled into bite sized pieces
Rice
Kielbasa-diced into bite sized pieces
onions
egg noodles
spices-lots of garlic, pepper, etc. ----we like it spicey!
bullion cubes-chicken flavor
Cook chicken in a stock pot, along with a handful of bullion cubes or powder(to taste, of course!), minced onions, spices. Cook some rice separately, or even with the chicken if you don't mind it being a little overcooked at the end. Take out the chicken to cool and dice or pull into bite-sized bits, dump the noodles in the still boiling water, along with the diced kielbasa and cook until noodles are done. Add the rice and chicken. This is a spicey, hearty soup that goes well with ers or homemade bread....and so addictive that you cannot eat just one bowl!

My new favorite soup is Left Over Turkey Soup.
I boiled my turkey carcass with celery, onion and garlic. Strained the broth up (tossed the carcass) and tossed in some mixed vegies along with some green onions, celerly, a half of can of chicken broth left over from the dressing, some barley a few egg noodles and the left over turkey. Served with yeast rolls.
Turned out great.
