A budget winter meal, which has been a family favourite of ours for many years. The ingredients of this soup are based on saving money at the supermarket without compromising on flavour, as well as being a healthy, low-fat meal. I like to buy the small twin-pack chickens which are very economical. I freeze one for the next soup and save half the packet of pasta for next time also. I easily get two meals out of one soup, have leftovers, or feed a crowd for next to nothing.
