Sick wife wanted comfort food. Making it from scratch takes longer but is so much less expensive than glop from a can. Potatoes, onion, butter, salt, pepper.
Cost per person, 70¢ not including the pepper sauce. A standard can of condensed is almost three times the cost.
I used to do a potato leak soup all the time but my food desert makes leaks a very rare item.
I have gallons of stock on hand that I have canned myself. I do not believe in using it for when I will be discarding it, things like boiling pasta or potatoes in. It’s too valuable a resource to drain off even if it’s practically free.
