One of my current goals for this blog is to share with you some how I prep meals based on the deals I get from the weekly Wegmans coupons and deals list. I want to share with you not just the deals, but actually how they can turn into cheap meals to feed your family.
One easy and frugal recipe is this butternut squash and organic sausage soup.
Ingredients:
Wegmans Butternut Squash Soup, 32 fl oz – $1.99
Wegmans Organic Chicken Sausage, sweet apple flavor – $6.49 (used half for $3.25) **note – I spoiled myself and family with organic sausage. You could for sure substitute the organic sausage with a cheaper meat!
Wegmans Food You Feel Good About Just Picked Mixed Vegetables, 16 oz – $0.99
Cup of milk
1/2 cup of water
Tsp Olive Oil
Salt & pepper to taste (I also like to season with McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak Seasoning)
= $6.23 (I didn’t count milk, water, olive oil or salt & pepper into meal cost since those are staples you probably have at home anyway. This = $1.55 per serving – makes 4 servings.
PREPARATION:
Pour the butternut squash soup base into a soup pan. Add a 1/2 water to the empty cart, shake, and pour “washed out” container into the pan. Add 1 cup milk. Add 1 bag of frozen mixed veggies. Heat on medium until heated through.
While the soup and veggies are warming up, add 3 sausage links into a pan with a tsp. of olive oil. Heat on medium until light brown (about 10 minutes).
Cut the sausage into bite size pieces and add to the soup. Stir and simmer about 5 more minutes. Add salt & pepper to taste. Garnish with rice noodles or fried onions (optional).
