These 25 frugal healthy soup recipes each cost less than $1 per serving. Add two of these recipes to your meal plan each week in place of takeout, and you can save over $2000 a year!

These 25 frugal healthy soup recipes are comforting, delicious, and easy on your grocery budget. Perfect dinner for fall or winter!

These 25 frugal healthy soup recipes each cost less than $1 per serving. Add two of these recipes to your meal plan each week in place of takeout, and you can save over $2000 a year!

As the days get colder, soup becomes more and more appealing. It’s great comfort food, and it’s easy to fill a pot of soup with healthy ingredients. I love how frugal soup can be, too.

To help with affordable meal planning, I’ve put together this list of 25 frugal healthy soup recipes from around the web that each cost less than $1 per serving. When money’s tight, adding one or two of these recipes to your meal plan each week will help so much with your grocery budget. And you’ll feel good about using these nourishing, real food ingredients to feed your family.

It really is amazing how much money you can save by making food yourself.

Here’s an example. Let’s say you’re feeding a family of 5, and you usually get takeout twice a week for $25 per meal. That’s $50 a week on takeout. If you were to substitute two of these soup recipes for those takeout meals twice a week for the whole year, you’d save $40 a week. During the course of the year, that adds up to over $2,000 back in your wallet.

$2,000! What would you spend that on? It would probably go right into my travel budget.

Many of these recipes make big batches, or else you can double them. I always like to make extra soup so I can freeze some. On those days when the meal plan doesn’t go according to plan, I can grab a container of soup out of the freezer instead of resorting to takeout.

    This is awesome! I’ve been spending way too much on take out recently and with the weather turning, I’ve started thinking about make ahead soups. This weekend I made my favorite tomato and pasta soup. I’m printing out some of these for next time!

    Amazing soups and such gorgeous photos. I love fall soups! We have soup just about once every week, but the best part is the leftovers for lunch and the yummy bread we make to accompany it! PINNING!

    Thanks so much for sharing this great collection of recipes! I’ve pinned this post for later but have some cauliflower in the fridge that is begging to be made into the curry cauliflower that I’m now craving.
