Repurpose canned soups! My local Aldi's had tomato soup on sale for 14¢ each. I bought six, and used them for:
sauce bases
marinating pork roast
meatloaf seasoning
(cooked down w/diced tomatoes) ciabatta bread spread
Best 84¢ I ever spent!

This French Onion Soup is actually closer to some older, rustic versions, and arguably more respectful of the broth’s complexity. That missing 'cheesy lid' became the hallmark of the dish in North America. #TheOutpost #Cooking #Cooksky #Foodsky #Recipe #Soup
