My roommate's 'throw everything in a pot' soup versus my planned fridge clear-out
Her soup was a salty mess, but my stir-fry with the same leftover chicken and wilting veggies turned out great because I actually looked at what we had first. Anyone else find that a quick fridge check before you start cooking makes all the difference?

Throw everything in a pot" is a terrifying phrase. I once watched a friend do that and end up with a broth that tasted like pickle juice and broken dreams because a jar of olives got involved. A quick look first is the difference between dinner and a science experiment.

Wait, did @barbaraw16 just change my whole view on soup?

Pickle juice and olives sounds rough. But that's more about weird combos than just looking first. The real trick is knowing what cooks fast and what needs time. Toss potatoes in early, add delicate herbs at the end.
