Hack a healthy, yet not expensive, meal.
iuguy: This is an awesome recipe that costs <£1 - I've managed to make it for 35 pence (not sure what that is in dollars these days) using product near their expiry date.Buy some cheap soup in a tin. I recommend Cream of Chicken because it's quite nice and usually available.
Go to the bakers or supermarket shortly before they close and buy a cheap crusty round bread loaf on discount. You could use a square loaf but that's just stupid.
Warm up the soup.
Whilst the soup is warming up, butter the underside of the bread and put it in the oven, medium heat for no more than 10 minutes. You ideally want it crusty and solid on the outside but not burnt.
When the bread is done, slice off the top of the bread. Scoop out the insides, tearing them up into little pieces.Here comes the science bit, watch carefully now:Pour the soup into the empty bread, use the torn up bits of the inside to bulk it up a little or leave them to dip into it. Add salt and pepper to suit and enjoy not having to wash a bowl afterwards. I defy anyone to eat a whole one including the bread.It won't leak because you baked the bread hard. The butter stops it from getting stuck to the bottom of the tray in the oven.There, soup hacked :)
