Soup Strategies

Have you ever heard the saying, "Cheap as Borscht?". Well I've found a product that will make borscht even cheaper!

Today while I was at my local Italian Market I found a new type of broth that I tried. Instead of a carton of diluted broth this product is a small jar of bouillon, similar to bouillon cubes but its all natural, has pieces of chicken and less salt. The product sells for around $8.00 which makes over 31 cups of broth (keep in mind most broths sell for about $4.50 per 2 cups). I loved the taste of this broth and also loved how user friendly it is. The mixture measures 1 tsp per cup of water and can be kept in the fridge until you need it again.

This is the brand that I used:

Fishy Fishy Fishy Fish

Like fish? Hate the cost? My local grocery store, Sobeys, has a great product out and you should look for it in your local shop. Sobeys has a brand of Canadian flash frozen seafood and fish products. Most of these products are sold at and incredibly reduced price, not because of the quality or expiration date but because of their popularity.

Tonight for supper with my dad, and sister we had salmon, roasted yams, roasted red peppers, brown rice pilaf and sliced cucumbers. The whole meal cost under $10!

The salmon packages come individually at $1/piece. You can cook them thawed or frozen, or steam them in the microwave in the package they come with. For supper we prepared the salmon in a teriyaki-soy marinade with garlic, red peppers, yams and some herbs including oregano. We baked everything in the oven for about 20 minutes and voila, we had an incredible meal.

Look for this at your grocery store! Its a great find!
