Stock
  1. If you save ends of veggies like carrots, broccoli, etc...you can use them for making stock for any soup. Just clean them thoroughly and throw them in the freezer. You can grab what you need as needed.
Alaternate Options
  1. If you are used to have noodles and can't do without, try using grated cauliflower as rice instead. Just lightly steam it, grate it, and add it into each individual bowl. Note: Do not put in pot of soup. It will not store or freeze well.
  2. Freeze leftovers for a sick day!
