Tonight's Menu: Homemade Chicken and Bean Soup

Yesterday I tried making a new recipe with my Crockpot chicken. I poured a can of Tomato Bisque Soup over my chicken breasts and cooked them up. They were a hit! After taking the chicken out, there was the lovely soup base leftover, so I decided to try my hand at soup. Here is what we did:

1. Took the the leftover chicken breasts, broke them up and put them in with the soup base.
2. Then put the Crockpot on low all night.
3. This morning, I took some beans leftover from making refried beans for tomorrow night's meal, they had not been mushed yet, and added that.
4. I also took the black beans I had soaking all night, boiled them on the stove and added them.
5. An hour or so before dinner, I am going to add some lentils. As well as some leftover corn and rice from last night's dinner. 

This meal is smelling good already!!! Not sure how we will last till dinner, but we will try! I figure this meal will cost us about $.50 for the whole meal, for seven people! Top that!!! I would say free as it is mostly leftovers, but we did add the lentils and beans, so it cost a little something. 

All in all, feeling happy about feeding my family in a frugal yummy way!
