Time is not always on our side. One more day until the next outdoor market in my neighborhood here in Paris (which is, by the way, chilly this week) and I still have loads of greens and vegetable leftovers and yes they are taking up a lot of space in the refrigerator… half a cabbage, lots of celery, green onions, parsley, dill, a few potatoes as well as a small container of already opened crème fraîche (like sour cream) and regular heavy cream that are just taking up space on the fridge shelves too ! I love soup any time of the day, morning, noon and night. Time to make a green creamy soup and free up some space in my fridge. I'll be filling it up with newer, fresher and crisper stuff from the market tomorrow ! Are those half-lemons I see ? (that juice will bring it all together with a zing !)

clip choose your leftovers wisely, spinach and chard could be a nice addition, regular onions too, but perhaps not green peppers with the cabbage or spinach; for creaminess, half-half cream or even beaten cream cheeses could do the trick too
