I was craving Potato soup like nobody's business and I was very disgruntled because I've only ever had it with sausage, bacon, butter, and cream....so how was I supposed to eat it and stick to this 28 day challenge?
So this is what I came up with...and it was DELICIOUS!
Potato Soup
6 cups vegetable broth (I used water and bouillon cubes for this)
3 medium potatoes- chopped
2 cups carrots - diced
1 clove garlic - minced
1 onion - diced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
pepper and salt
Directions:
Put broth on stove and bring to a boil. While broth is heating up cut up garlic and onions, saute.
When broth is boiling toss in potatoes, carrots, garlic, onions and seasoning.
Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
Voila! You're done! Simple as that!
Optional:
If you want it thicker mash up some extra potatoes in the soup or add in corn starch. Or add in more vegetables!
Add ins:
Kale, celery, pretty much any vegetable.
If you want it to look more like potato soup consider a splash of almond milk.
Approximate Cost:
Potatoes: $.25
Vegetable bouillon: $2
Carrots: $.50
Garlic: $.05
Onion: $.25
Seasonings: $.01
Total: $3.07 for about 4 servings.
Take in to consideration these prices very on anything you buy on sale or when in season or if you grow it! Also the highest cost in here was the broth, this can easily be changed by making your own vegetable stock. Lots of options to lower this price. But $3 for a healthy and hearty dinner, not to bad!
