Soup is Good Food

Soup can be a meal. It can also be a very inexpensive meal to make. With prices rising at the grocery store, you don't need to fall back on processed foods in order to feed your family. Soup can be a healthier choice and even for an inexperienced cook, it can be easy.

I often make pots of soup and freeze the broth for use in recipes or just to have on hand.

Homemade Chicken Broth is a great way to make the most out of an oven stuffer. Beef Stock is also easy to make and is the base for other soup recipes or just a quick beef noodle soup.

Soup can be healthy and even help you to lose weight.

Many soups can become family favorites. Hungarian goulash was a favorite soup of mine when I was growing up and I still enjoy this hearty soup on a cold winter day.

Even veggie lovers can enjoy soup that will be satisfying. Check out these choices that are easy, delicious and cheap to make.

Want something delicious to go with that soup? How about homemade bread? Don't think that making homemade bread has to be hard. This recipe for Oat Bread takes 1 hour start to finish. Yes- ONE HOUR! Even a baking-challenged person can do this. You will be glad that you tried it and it will remove your fear over making your own bread once you see how easy it can be.

Soup is good food. Don't waste your money on the canned variety. Even low-sodium varieties cannot compare to homemade. It often is cheaper and far tastier to make it yourself. It can really stretch your food dollar.
