What kinda soup? Basic Tomato soup is 1 can of tomatos, 1 onion, 1 clove of garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Saute onion and crushed garlic gently until translucent, add yor tomatoes and cook for a further 10 -15 minutes and season to taste. You can apply this method for almost any kind of soup. You can also add a tbsp of cream to enrich it a little bit and its always good to experiment. Have fun

Simple Lentil Soup:
35 min 10 min prep
6 servings
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup lentils
2 big carrots, diced
2 bay leaves
2 bouillon cubes
2 links pre- cooked italian sausage, sliced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
In the pot that will eventually hold the soup, saute the onion and garlic in the oil.
Add the lentils, carrots, bay leaves, bouillon, and enough water to make the volume of soup that you want. (Remember that the lentils will expand when they cook.).
Cover and bring to a boil. Once it's boiling, turn the heat to low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the lentils are basically done.
Add the sausage (I use chicken sausage) and the rest of the herbs, return to a simmer, and cook for about 3 more minutes.
Enjoy!
1. soup #1: one can of tuna fish, and any vegetables which would go into the pan :)))
2. soup #2: sauteed onions (1), carrots (2-3), mushrooms (as many as you can get :))), - add to boiled potatoes (1-2)
3. soup #3: chicken soup - add sauteed carrots to chicken broth, and then some noodles.
And I add cauliflower and broccoli wherever I can :)))
WARNING: tuna fish goes into the soup without the can, and any soup should have some salt in it :)
The least expensive soup is a bean soup.
Get one of those dried bean soup mixes, some onion, celery, carrots, potato,salt and pepper and you got yourself a soup.
If you can swing it ad ham, bacon or chicken.
I have never yet used a recipe for soup! It all comes out of my imagination. For chicken & veg soup,I use as much diced vegetable as the family requires, chicken wings, sliced breast meat,chicken stock cubes and several large potatoes, 1 onion.Throw all into big boiler pot and cook till tender. I remove the meat & mash the vegies. This makes a nice thick tasty soup. The same for beef soup.
I make this frequently when the weather's cool. It's fast, easy and my hubby and son love it.
