As far as cheap meals go, soup is by far the most cost effective! most recipes Ive tried have cost about $2 to make... and that serves 4 so its pretty cool.

i get most my recipes from www.healthysoup.net but there are plenty others out there!

I posted this on another thread too FYI.

Here is a simple broccoli soup recipe (that's cheap and healthy!):

- head of broccoli
- boiled water
- salt (mostly to taste)
- blender
- goat cheese
- walnut/s
-----------------------------------
- Simply add broccoli to boiled water until soft and dark green with some salt
- Add broccoli to blend WITH its own water - important (fill blender ~ 3/4 high with the water)
- Blend until smooth and season a bit with salt
- Serve over a few slices of goat cheese and two walnut for looks

Beauty! Cheap! Healthy! Enjoy!

60g Rice.
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Slice of Lemon to garnish (optional)

1. Bring stock to simmer and add the rinsed rice.
2. Cook rice until tender
3. Whisk yokes in a bowl, add half the lemon juice and whisk until smooth and bubbly
4. Add a laddle of soup to the egg mixture and whisk in.
5. Remove the rice from the heat and add the egg yokes, whisking all the time to prevent the eggs from curdling
6. Add the remainer of the lemon juice and mix in the parsley.
7. Serve at once garnish with the slices of lemon.

You should get about 4 portions of this and it's very tasty.
