Re: Frugal Living

I just chuck two handfuls of dehydrated mixed veg into boiling water and leave that for a few hours to soften, then bung into the soup maker with a stock cube and some powdered milk. Soup Maker? Tell us about this soup maker? Does it boil/simmer? Can we adapt for Slow cooker? How long does it take?...

Re: Soup!

I'll go off on one of my soup-sperimentation adventures soon. Future recipes will be crockpot sized at 4 or more portions per batch. I did find value in cooking the soup to a thick concentrate which I froze as slabs of concentrate in freezer bags. For now, I'll just link to a couple of my successes....

Re: Frugal Living

Heinz lentil soup is nice but it has too much salt and got very expensive so I don't get it often these days. I like mushroom soup too. Not had any for ages, got the urge now, will put it on my list! I'll try to find some cheap at Aldi. Lentil soup is one of the easiest and cheapest to make. Great ...
