potage

It is also a term that describes a plethora of Tuscan bread soups, panade, porridge or potage made with bread and vegetables, often from leftovers.

They call themselves the "potages" - a mash-up of the French words for buddies and hostages.

But simpler recipes — like carrot potage, roast eggplant rice, and bamboo shoot and mountain vegetable sukiyaki, which require little background in Japanese ingredients beyond dashi, soy sauce and miso — are relatively few.

Tonight, I made kabocha squash potage, veggie stir fry and rice.

If I were an MP, I would not want to own this putrid potage of poor political leadership and self-destructive consequence.
