We’ll be enjoying soup twice this week. I’ll be making an easy and frugal batch of hamburger soup. At $.50 a serving, it’s hard to beat, plus we will have enough leftovers for at least two lunches.

Chicken pot pie soup is our second soup this week. I use pre-cooked chicken I’ve prepared for the freezer to make it easier to make. It’s a yummy way to enjoy pot pie in soup form. It’s so good.

We haven’t had my great grandma’s recipe for pork chops in a while. Since I picked up a pork loin while shopping and cut it into a bunch of pork chops, it’s a good time to enjoy this meal again.

I’ll be roasting potatoes alongside the pork chops for a quick baked meal.

You might also notice we’ll be having a salad for a side dish most nights this week. I prep everything for the week and so making a salad is simple to see how you can prep ahead salad for the week so you can eat more salads too.

They are also a frugal breakfast recipe costing only $.10 each. My family gobbles these up every time I made them.

  1. We’re having such good soup weather around here! I made some beef stew in the slow cooker last night and it really hit the spot.

    Hope you all have a great week!

  2. Your menu looks good, Shelly, and soup really does sound nice right now. The weather has definitely turned and chicken pot pie soup would be a great meal for dinner. If only the rest of my family loved pot pie the way I do… I wish! 🙂

    I hope you and your family have a great week!!

    1. That’s a bummer your family doesn’t like pot pie that well. I hope you have a great week, Sandra.
