What to do with leftover salsa? Make soup! photo 1 My family over did it on the salsa during our Father’s Day celebration this year, and we were left with a tonĀ of leftovers. I kept piling the salsa atop my salads and eating it with veggies, but at a certain point I was tired of the flavor and I wanted to try something new.

Here is a fun and simple recipe that you can make when you have salsa on hand. The salsa we had was the “Cantina Style” salsa from whole foods (red). It was very mild, so the soup turned out a touch sweet but I loved it! You can use any salsa of choice, and I would suggest trying out something spicy! I think it would balance well with the corn.

Enjoy!
