Recession Meals Part 2

The Quick and Easy Soup


Soups are a supreme comfort food, especially this time of year. I'm a firm believer in soups that are quick and simple, but taste like they've been simmering all day. This season I will attempt to post many receipes and ideas for soups I've dreamt up. With the addition of a rice cooker I recently bought, my exploration into the realm of easy made soups has increased. Now there are soups made on the stovetop, in the slow cooker and in the rice cooker! Like this one, for example:

This is a vegetable soup I whipped up with miscelaneous stuff in my fridge. I'm a firm believer in working with what you've got. This time it was tofu, carrots, sweet peas, potatos and onions. I used a chicken stock and water with the salt-free all purpose seasoning I bought from Costco. Just 40 mts or so in the rice cooker and it's ready!
Soups always get better the longer they sit, but these receipes are meant for immediate consumption! They're also great if you freeze them for good eating later on.
All in all, it's good recession food!
