Potato Soup (is that with an 'e'?)
Four potatoes, peeled and diced (~50¢)
half a cup of diced onion (~25¢)

one celery stalk, thinly sliced (same as the carrot...pennies?)
four cups of water (free)
tsp salt (a penny?)
tsp pepper (a few cents)
Bring to a boil, simmer til veggies are soft
Smash with potato masher
Add two cups of cream (or a can of canned milk 50¢), warm through
Total $1.40 for eight servings
Tomato Soup
two tbsp oil (cents)
half a cup onion (25¢)
heat oil, cook onions til translucent
add 14 oz can of tomato sauce (88¢)
add one can of water (free)
tsp salt (penny)
half tsp pepper (penny)
tbsp basil (say, a nickel)
Less than a $1 for 8 servings
The kids and I threw this together today, and a loaf of homemade french bread (50¢) really brought it all together, thinly sliced and toasted.
and we had three bowls left over for lunch tomorrow, for the lucky folk who get there first.
