Soup, Salad & Bread

 

One of my most favorite meals is simply a bowl of soup, a green salad and a nice homemade roll or piece of bread.  It is a beautiful way to nourish our souls and our bodies, especially regardless of what they weather has in store for us.  This meal, in my opinion, is perfect all year.

Soup, salad and bread pretty much covers all of the basic food groups.  I make all of my soups and breads from scratch so the nutrition is optimal and there are no ultra processed foods or odd ingredients and additives to worry about.  I like knowing what I’m putting into my body and there is no room for chemicals or preservatives that I can’t pronounce.

 

Adding a couple soup based meals to my menu plan each week not only nourishes me but it also is a great way for me to use up items before they can go to waste.  Little bits of this and that lying around or any leftovers are gathered up and used to make a variety of soups.  If I get carried away and make more than I can consume in the week I can also place the extra into a container and freeze it to enjoy later down the line.  Now that to me is some delicious fast food.

When we are able to stretch our resources, use up leftovers and avoid food waste we can save a lot of money too.  The money savings is a bonus I’m quite happy with.  Enjoy some tasty and budget friendly soup meals!  Bon appétit!
