I just made soup

As the title says, I just made soup. Not from a can, or from some sort of crazy soup-kit, but all from scratch, from the top of my head. Onion, potato, shrimp, with a little mustard, chili powder, tabasco sauce, celery seed, bay leaves, and oregano. It's pretty good, too.

So what kind of foodstuffs have you all made from scratch with no idea how it was going to turn out?

best thing I ever made was some kind of orange chicken stir-fry. I was going to have some kind of veggies in with my chicken I'd cooked along with some tomatoes -- I can't remember what it was, probably mushrooms or olives or something. Anyway, I grabbed the can, opened it, and dumped it in the pan and thought "Well, that's weird". I grabbed a can of mandarin oranges by mistake. I was kinda mad because I had my mind set on Italian food, and I thought the stuff was gonna suck-- tomatoes and oranges-- wth?. So then I took the noodles I was already cooking, finished them and left them to the side so I could throw it away later after it cooled and the mistake chicken could finish cooking.

So yeah, I really didn't expect that to happen.

When I tasted it, though, it was awesome-- you'd never expect tomatoes and oranges to work, but something about the sweet and sour taste was wicked. Them I got the idea to make something like Chinese food out of the noodles. I saw some veggies in the fridge and got it in the pan where the chicken was and cooked that, then added the chicken and some pasta back and mixed it up and a little Sriracha sauce some friend gave me (because I like spicy food). It was epic-- I put up the leftovers and had it three days in a row for lunch during the summer.

cheesy burrito things, three attempts:
attempt one: 7/10, too salty enough not enough spice
attempt two: 4/10, accidentally used salsa with "corn syrup" in it (aka, it was sweet) and tried to salvage with pepper.
attempt three: 7/10, not enough spice still

i should try to perfect it, but i'm about to lave for vacations and I have to make a cheesecake before I go

A moose once bit my sister.
I made a taco salad that came out pretty good. Enchilada sauce fixed all the mistakes. :)
I also attempted a shrimp dish with noodles, It wasn't to bad but it was WAY to spicy becuase I used to
much garlic and cayenne pepper.These are the only confusing dishes that I have ever really made becuase Im
normally just a microwave crusader.

What was the base?

I've made soup and stock from scratch. It can be pretty tedious. I've made a lot of good stir-fry from scratch, but that's not exactly hard.

One time, I made pasta... from a box of pasta. I fucked it up.

Damn it.

The other day I was desperately craving pizza. Not wanting to spend money on actually ordering one and too lazy to drive out to the store, I decided to make one with stuff I had around the house. I used some Italian bread, tomato purée, some mozzarella cheese from the 'fridge and some cut up lunch-meat pepperoni. Put it in the oven for about five to seven minutes and voila, cheap home-made pizza.

I know it's not as complex and some of the things people have posted but I really and truly had no idea if that concoction was going to work out. It's actually a pretty good.

I used to make a damn good veggie chili. All from scratch too, with three types of beans and roma tomatoes. The secret was to use a shitton of cumin and pepper. If chili makes me hiccup within a few minutes, I know it's good.

That was, until I found a local restaurant that matches my chili in awesomeness.

The base was just water. I didn't really have all that much to work with; just potatoes and onions, really. The shrimp was a result of digging around in the freezer for five minutes for something else to add. I wanted to put in some carrots, but when I found them they had these weird buds all over them, and I thought that was bad. It was pretty much the definition of "I am hungry but there is no food, aaah."
