1 1/2 cups leftover cooked green beans, cut into bite-size pieces, or thawed frozen green beans

I made this recipe - well, the base anyway. I'm so glad I found it because I never would have thought to use mashed potatoes and meatloaf in a soup. I didn't have the green beans, escarole, or pearl onions, but I sautéed onions, green bell pepper, and mushrooms and then made it pretty much as directed. I used spinach for the escarole and I also added some homemade roasted red peppers that I needed to use up. I added some orzo because it seemed like my mashed potato/broth ratio was a little off and it wasn't thick enough, but it did thicken up after a bit. I could have skipped the orzo, but it was a nice addition because I think I was a little light on the taters. It came out very hearty and delicious! My hubby and dad both gave it a thumbs up. I will definitely make this again with my leftover meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Thanks!
