Vegetable Barley Soup
1 can tomato paste- .50
3 quarts water -free
3 beef bullion cubes- (I get the ones in the Mexican section)- .50
1 T. oil - .10
1 bag mixed vegetables $1.50
1 cup barley $1
1 T. Italian seasonings -.25
Mix all in a soup pot.
Bring to a boil and allow to simmer about 45 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
When the barley is tender it's done.
Total cost: $4.35
The barley will fill you up. Of course you could add meat or other vegetables but that would add to the cost. Served with a loaf of French bread to sop up the delicious broth would add about $2 more to the meal if store bought or make your own for about $1. Still a good, comforting, cheap recipe!
This freezes well!
