I try to find ways to reuse everything to get the most value from it before I dispose of it to compost. I keep my compost in the fridge actually. Then when I go to my local CSA for a pick up I dump it in their big compost pile. I live in an apartment and can't have a compost pile outside either. So this is how I get around it and still do something good. I just have a big bowl with a lid, two actually. One of them I keep veggie scraps in that are good as purees or as flavorings in stocks. Then when I'm ready to cook a big batch of stuff I go through it and reuse everything in it in any way that I can. I only keep stuff like that for a week, two at most, so it's not gross and rotten or anything. Another bowl has already cooked veggie pulp scraps to go straight to compost. I also keep a gallon freezer bag in the freezer with bits of vegetables left from dinners to make soup with when it gets pretty full. And any pork/beef bones I have I put them in another gallon freezer bags and when it gets full I make homemade stock/broth/soups with them. Some veggie scraps like tomato scraps and strawberry scraps I keep in freezer bags in the freezer, too. Because after I collect them for a while and have alot, I make special things I love with them like homemade v8, gazpacho, strawberry limeade syrup and other stuff. I am writing an ebook right now about my compost cooking adventures. Stay tuned when it's ready! :) Thank you very much! :) I keep all kinds of scraps from fruits, vegetables, meats…all of it.

I'm a "thick" soup lover too. I usually end up making my own because most of the kinds you get in the shops around here aren't thick enough for me. I feel so inspired by your usage of vegetable trimmings in the stock! What sorts of scraps do you keep? Composting is huge here and if my rental unit afforded me the space to do it, I would - so this idea of saving scraps for soup is very appealing to me! Less waste = good. ooooh!
