Home-made soup

Ingredients:

Water
Instant Bouillon
Meat (optional)
Frozen or canned vegetables
Pasta

If using meat, cut into small pieces and cook throughly.

Pour everything (except pasta) into a stock pot and bring to a boil.  The soup can be kept at a low simmer until almost ready to serve  Add pasta last and boil for length of time indicated on package.  (The pasta will keep soaking up liquid until it becomes a soggy mess, so it needs to be added as close to serving as possible.)

Serve!



Yeah, I know, it's a "duh!" recipe, but it's actually pretty healthy, quite tasty, and relatively cheap.

Sounds like the same exact soup my mom makes. :) Awesome. :D Except she browns the meat in the pot first via dry heat, then adds water and veggies (frozen's best, canned has no flavor and very little nutrients due to the canning process) then spices and sometimes rice or spaghetti.
