Easy stovetop soups for spoonies, please?

I don’t have a slow cooker or pressure cooker. I need recipes I can throw together I have - ground beef - rotisserie chicken - star noodles - tiny egg noodles - better than bouillon paste in jars (both beef & chicken) - canned tomatoes diced - canned sliced carrots - canned sweet corn maybe - some spices what I am getting - low sodium beef and chicken broth - frozen mixed veg - canned green beans? - anything I would need to make a tomato base? I don’t like spice, or beans. or broccoli. or chickpeas. Looking for anything similar to beef veg, chicken noodle, beef veg with a tomato base, veg with a tomato base, etc. Lately I’ve been ordering soups from a local diner but it’s a lot of money to do everyday. I just need to know how to best combine and cook what I have into good soups, measurements and all that.  I don’t mind a few servings, but as I live alone, I don’t need huge stew pot size recipes. 3-4 servings, maybe. Something that’s easy to throw together and simmer in a pot once meats are cooked. @lowspoonsfood can anyone help or can you submit this?

From Fairytale: A True Story (1997) (1st photo). This is one of my very favorite movies. It tells the story of the Cottingley Fairies. I love this story, and though I know its been debunked, in my heart I try to tell myself it was true. In 1917, in the midst in World War I, two girls from Cottingley, England took two photos. Elsie was 16 and Frances was 9. The pictures were noticed by author of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who was known as a spirtualist. I’ve heard somewhere he took part in a lot of seances. He used the photos for an article on fairies for The Strand magazine. Interest in the story died off after 1921. The girls were inspired by Princess Mary’s Gift Book, a book published in 1914, to make the photos. A book that’s good on this subject is The Cottingley Secret by Hazel Gaynor.

About Me & My Blog

I finally feel like I’m starting to figure out what I want to do in this space. I’ve gone through a lot of changes here, and I apologize to my followers for that. You’ll be seeing original posts & my crafts and things at some point, for now I’ll be doing reposts. some of my favorite things: old books (especially childrens books & fairytales) and cataloging them, tea & teacups, making things (especially textiles, needle felt, embroidery, learning to knit, know a little crochet), autumn, anthropomorphic animals, Joanna Newsom songs, rain, cable knit sweaters, brooches, secret gardens, moss covered statues, cottages, castles, abandoned places, freshly baked bread, my local amish market, Pinterest, dolls, cottagecore & mori kei, the regency period, the sounds of harp & piano, birdsong, the smell of marshmallow, brambly hedge, ballet, the smell of green, nature, lemon drop cookies, period dramas, wax, pretty letters, calligraphy. I like dark academia, but I like to make it more green & autumnal. As far as I go.. I run a group on facebook for antique & vintage book collectors to buy & sell their tomes: https://www.facebook.com/groups/277236469339836 I log & catalog my books & reading on both Librarything: https://www.librarything.com/profile/toast_and_tea Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/60936729-hlp as I like different things about both sites. I’m starting up a blog this summer on Blogspot to discuss fairytales, their different editions, and the public domain books I read. I live in a small town on the East Coast with my cat Herb.
