LEFTOVER MEATLOAF SOUP

Ok, so I had this leftover meatloaf that no one was going to eat [no one but me likes meatloaf] and I needed to use it up, so I came up with this soup, and it turned out pretty good. I'm really just posting it so I remember how to make it [ha-ha] if you make it, feel free to sub prepared meatballs as well, and to mix up the veggies as to what you have on hand. It makes a lot, but it does freeze okay.

LEFTOVER MEATLOAF CHILI

Got leftover meatloaf and you're tired of sandwiches (like if anyone could be;) and you want something different? Try this very good recipe. Be careful though, the way that this is written it's very spicy. (Well at least to me anyway :)). I let this simmer for about 30 minutes for a better flavor. This recipe will serve two very hungry people or 3 not so hungry people. Submitted to "ZAAR" on October 12,2007
