Okay, I make chicken noodle soup different ways depending upon what I have on hand and what mood I'm in :).
Today was a super simple and cheap recipe. There weren't a lot of add-ins because we didn't have them. And it was pretty close to meatless. But it tasted a lot better than anything that you'll find in a can.
Ingredients: Chicken stock, a packet of chicken gravy mix, noodles. Heat the chicken stock to boiling, add packet of chicken gravy mix and stir with a whisk. Add noodles, cook until al dente.
I made the chicken stock from scratch. Truthfully, it's a by-product from stewing chickens for casseroles, etc. There is really no cost to this. The packet of gravy mix was on sale for $.33. And the noodles were purchased at Dollar General for $.33 per pack. I used 2 packs today, so that's $.66. I think it would have been better with only one pack of noodles. We also used about half of a sleeve of crackers. I buy a box of crackers at Aldi for $.89, which makes them $.15 per sleeve...so we'll call that $.08 for crackers. We drank water with our meal, so no additional cost there. And we had at least one serving left over, so I'm going to figure that in.
Chicken stock Free by-product
Gravy Mix $.33
Noodles $.66
Crackers $.08
Total $1.07 for 4 servings (that's $.27 per serving)
