Frugal(ish) meal: Tuscan Vegetable Soup

Tweet

Hi and Happy Wednesday! Wanted to try something different and had a few of the ingredients of this soup already on hand, so why not. It turned out good! Maybe a little thin and bland, but I probably should have put more vegetable broth in. I enjoyed the seasonings, sage and ground thyme, which I don’t often use. Here’s the ingredients (and estimated cost from Walmart near me in Minneapolis, MN) Makes 18 cups (6 3 cup servings) 2 cans of cannellini beans $2 1 Tbs olive oil 1 large onion diced $.60 4 carrots $1.29 4 celery stalks $2 2 zucchinis $1.59 2 cloves minced garlic 2 tsp dried ground thyme $2.79 2 tsp rubbed sage $3.39 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 64 oz vegetable broth $2.60 2 cups baby spinach $2.49 1/3 cup grated Parmesan (optional) Total with herbs: $20.35 Total for me with the ingredients I already had (zucchini, onion, beans, and I added some diced tomatoes), total: $14.56 for 6 larger servings Cook basically like you would any other soup. I enjoyed but not sure I will do again, I’ve been preferring creamy or pureed soups with a little more filling ingredients. The beans helped though. You make anything good or frugal lately?
