Cheap soups that are quick and easy to make
In our family we all love soups, providing they are home-made. My husband and children have never been used to tinned soups and I know they would turn their noses up if that was served to them. My daughter, Hayley, eats left-over soup for breakfast.
My husband and I once went to a lovely smorgasbord restaurant in Perth called Miss Maud's. The soups were so divine that he went back for more soup even after he had finished his desserts.
Economical and hearty soups
Soup is one of the cheapest dishes to make and it can be so filling. Start a meal off with soup and you can cut back on the size of the main course and hence save money. Soups are so healthy and nourishing too. For a quick and satisfying lunch try a big bowl of soup with some wholemeal bread dunked in. Deliciousssss!
My favourite soup is Nutty Pumpkin Soup. Our teenagers, Jeremy and Hayley, both enjoy this soup yet neither of them likes pumpkin dished up as a vegetable with their dinner. The French Onion soup is so easy to make. My husband, Ian, enjoys cooking it and he does a really good job of it too. Lentil and Vegetable Soup is just about a meal in itself. Try the following:
