Here is a new simple, healthy, cheap, easy and delicious recipe for you to try!
Time: Approx. 30 minutes
Cost: Approx. $5
Servings: Approx. 4
NOTE: Please don't judge me for my dirty stove… it was late and I didn't feel like cleaning it before cooking… I was soooo hungry!
Ingredients
3 Potatoes, chopped, approx. 1/2 lb. $1
(I like to clean them really well and keep the skin, its tastier that way).
2 Cups corn $1 (I used the frozen corn, much easier and I feel frozen is better than canned)
1/2 Yellow Onion, chopped $.25 (this is my estimated cost)
4 Garlic Cloves, chopped
1 Cup Milk $.50
2 Cups Water with 3 tbsp. flour (this will make your soup thicken, I used whole wheat flour because I ran out of white flour but I would probably use white, whole wheat has a much stronger flavor).
1 Celery stalk, chopped
2 Tbsp. Butter $.25 (guestimated this)
4 oz. of cheese (white cheddar or mozzarella) $2
1/4 tsp. turmeric
salt and pepper to taste
Saute - at medium to low heat in a large pot, until just slightly golden brown
- Butter
- Garlic Cloves
- Onion
- Celery
- Turmeric
- Salt & Pepper (you may want to add more later so go easy at first)
Then - Add Potatoes and mix
Then - Add the water with the flour and the milk and let cook until the potatoes are close to being fully cooked, about 20 minutes but it really depends on how small you chopped your potatoes, so make sure to check them after 10 minutes. At this point add the corn and mix. And last, turn the heat off and add the 4oz. of cheese. Mix until the cheese melts and then serve! Grinding a little fresh pepper on top is delicious!
NOTE: If the soup is to thick you can always add a little milk or water. Just make sure to add a little more turmeric and salt and pepper.
