This is an economical and tasty way to serve leftovers and use up any ingredients that may be lingering in the fridge. Grandma's basic template for soup (see Cook's Note) is infinitely customizable for pot after pot of something new and delicious. Be sure to save easy flavor boosters that often get thrown away, such as Parmesan rinds, leftover bones from roasted meats and dried sausage ends.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 small onion, diced (about 1 cup)

1 medium celery stalk, sliced (about 3/4 cup)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 cups water, low-sodium chicken broth or a combination of both
1 piece of Parmesan cheese rind (optional)
1 ear corn, kernels removed, cob reserved for flavoring soup (optional)
1 small zucchini, shredded on large holes of box grater (about 1 1/2 cups)
