When you don't use all the fresh ingredients you bought to cook a meal or even after it, you have leftovers as: one or two slices of roast meat, slices of fresh bread...and other precious things, don't let them "die" in the fridge or rotting in the kitchen cupboard.
We already can find frozen vegetables, frozen fish or meat in food stores, 99% of our fresh ingredients and leftovers can be frozen, to use later so, why not save our money?
On the day we have no time to go shopping or an unexpected visit shows up for dinner; one carrot, one fish fillet, one "lonely" potato, all of them together can become treasures of a tasty meal.
Peel, slice and put them into small freezing bags well closed, but please don't do as some people I know, they have "prehistoric" bags in the freezer.
Some years ago I had no time to cook as often as today, leaving home to work at 6 AM and get home around 9 PM, I only had time to cook on the weekends so instead of leaving small amounts of food or ingredients to shrivel and rot, I got the "freezing habit"and the challenge was, two or three weekends later, to do one of the meals with what was already frozen.
By the way, the soup I've already posted, was one of those days when a flu forced me to stay at home, and almost all of its ingredients were frozen, including the bread(but in this case don't put the water over the ingredients like it says in the recipe, wait for the water begins to boil and only then add the frozen vegetables).
Of course olive oil, sea salt and some other small, but important things, must not ever be missing at home.
