Here's my budget chicken soup/stew recipe:

buy some small packets of dried soup mix, dried barley, dried lentils, ( I use McKenzies) and macaroni

buy a kilo of chicken wings, 1 litre chicken stock, 1 tin tomatoes, 1 packet frozen corn.

take 1/4 cup each of the dried pulses - put in a pot %26amp; 4 cups water and soak overnight. drain - fill the pot with water - bring to the boil - simmer for at least half an hour- keep adding water as it swells up - - drain - rinse - add to soup.

meanwhile - in a large pot, brown the cut up chicken wings, add onions, garlic, stock, tomatoes, simmer. add the cooked pulses. fill up the pot with water. simmer for a couple hours.

cook the macaroni separately - when drained - add a little olive oil to keep it from sticking. The macaroni will keep for days in the fridge.

To serve - place a large spoonfull macaroni in bottom of bowl, ladle hot soup on top.

you can also add fresh vegetables to this recipe - cheap carrots, potatoes, cabbage, pumpkin.

It really is a versatile dish - can also be frozen in single serve sizes.Whats healthy and cheap?

Succotash.



Succotash is just beans and corn. Neither beans nor corn offers a complete protein, but what one lacks, the other makes up for, and it's tasty, too. Most people think of succotash as lima beans and corn, but you can make it with any kind of beans you favor.



Most people throw a lot of their food away. Toss your leftover veggies into a stock pot, and heat it up once a day. It offers tremendous flavor when you make soups and stews, and it's got a lot of nutrition for you as well.



Speaking of which, soup is good food. Not that junk in the red and white can. I mean *real* soup. Grab some cheap meat at the supermarket - check the bin where they put the short-dated stuff - and add whatever vegetables are cheap. They usually have great deals on vegetables that are getting to the end of their life, but it just takes a few minutes with a paring knife to cut out the bad spots, chop up what's left and toss everything in the soup.



It's hard to cook for one. Find yourself someone else in the same situation. That way, you only have to cook half as often. And if things work out right, maybe you only have to pay one light bill, one water bill, etc. In the book of Genesis, God is quoted as saying that living alone is the pits (or something like that.)
