Let's talk about No Scrap Left Behind, which is one of my frequented subreddits. It is a movement all about taking the scraps from one recipe and using them in a different recipe. Since I'm a vegetarian, my scraps are almost always vegetables. And so, I make soup. In my Instant Pot. And so can you!

First, let me say that this recipe is not a quick way to put dinner on the table, but in terms of actual time you have to do any actual thing, it will only involve your human labor for about 10 minutes. Meets my patient-yet-lazy standards.

Don't you hate recipes that call for 1/2 an onion or 1/4 an onion? I do. What am I going to do with the rest of the onion? I do batch cooking, so it will be a long time before I get to using up the rest of that onion. I used to just throw the whole onion in, but that often times would upset the flavor balance.

But then I figured it out: dehydrate the onion.

Need that in more detail?
