Strawberry Garden in Bury is currently selling massive baking potatoes for 39p a pop. So I bought two. 78p, lunch sorted.
Breakfast was two mugs of thick, hot broccoli soup, straight from the slow cooker. I nabbed three heads of broccoli on Tuesday for 42p each, and liquified them over the following two days, in my tried and tested never-ending soup style.
Broccoli soup is as easy to make as any soup could ever possibly be. Ingredients: broccoli, water, oil, salt and pepper. That's it. Works as well in a saucepan as in a slow cooker. Just chop up the broccoli, stalks and all, add to a pan with water and a splash of oil, salt and pepper to taste, boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes until soft enough to blend, then blend. Done. How thick you make it is up to you, and just a matter or the water-broccoli proportion. It's magnificent that something so simple can be so delicious. Well-stuffed on potatoes for lunch, I'll be having more soup for tea as well. I'm seriously beginning to wonder if I can subsist, even flourish on nothing but broccoli, potatoes, and porridge.
Tomorrow's budget: £1.22. Feeling pleased with myself.
