What is the cheapest pureed soup that tastes good?

>>8608256
maybe potato

>>8608266
This anon is a total faggot the only answer is tomato.

>>8608266
so what's a cheap potato soup recipe that isn't bad?

>>8608269
you say tomato
I say po-fuck you

>>8608256
cheapest... I guess what produce you have around ultimately determines that but a butternut or kabocha congee/puree would be pretty cheap. Could give a bit extra body with something like coconut milk (the stuff that comes in cans)

>>8608273
1. Throw away your Irish famine food and get a few delicious tomatoes
2. Boil them shots for 3 minutes
3. Slide the skin right off
4. Puree with spices to taste and 1 cup of heavy cream or at least whole milk
5. Back on the stove and let simmer for 30 minutes

>>8608283
there's very little caloric value in pumpkins though.
I need to live on it. I'd just have to compensate with more fat then
>>8608285
I don't mean to discourage your tomato potato duel but too much tomato is hard on my stomach

>>8608291
Well you don't need to puree potatoes to make soup desu.

Just boil them and they will naturally liquify. Then just add cream or milk and simmer for bit..

>>8608291
didn't realize we were doing something of a survivalist gruel. Well the coconut milk would add a lot of fat calories you could add rice to the soup for caloric content also I think sweet rice part of the typical recipes for congee. I've even seen some people blend it dry then add it as sort of improvised rice flour.
If I were going the survivalist route I'd go for something barley, split pea or lentil related for the nutritional content vs cost per serving.

>>8608296
yes but it's not the puree that's the problem, potato just gives me acid reflux.

>>8608304
>tomato is too hard on your stomach
>potato causes acid reflux

Mushroom soup might work out for you.

this has all been somewhat helpful, thanks
>>8608307
oops I meant tomato gives me acid reflux, potato is fine.
I misread your previous post too. fug
mushroom soup sounds delicious too, but not cheap.
>>8608302
it's a bit of a mix, I'm definitely in a turbopoor situation right this moment, but not so bad that I have to live on the absolute cheapest produce. I feel like eating a pureed soup, but I'm poor. that's about it

>>8608315
>but not so bad that I have to live on the absolute cheapest produce.
well then I'd definitely recommend the pumpkin/squash congee with sweet rice and coconut milk.

>>8608256
Lentil soup. Even better if your stomach is upset

corn

>>8608269

This is correct. Tomato is by far the most delicious puréed soup.

>>8609107
pumpkin or some variation of dark green veggie soup is the tastiest.

Here's how to make a good mushroom soup.

Get 2 tablespoons of butter in a heated sauce pan. Add a thinly slices onion and heat it while stirring until translucent. Add 4 more tabsp of butter and about 3/4 of a pound of button mushrooms, halved. Let that cook gently while stirring for about 5 to 10 min.

Then add about 32 oz of chicken stock and some parsley flakes or a sprigg of parsely. Bring this to a boil, bank the heat and let it simmer for an hour.

>>8611084
After an hour get use an immersion blender to blend it all up or use a normal blender if your brave. I forgot to mention to remove the parsley sprigg if you added it before blending.

Add a 1/4 cup of cooking sherry and add salt and pepper to taste. I added some extra bonus mushrooms on top of my soup because I'm a little itty bitty mushroom man in my spare time.

Enjoy!

>>8611094
Just mushroom? Not "cream of" mushroom?
Would this be better with some milk/cream? Especially since I dont have a blender, can I do the mushroom part as you said, and use a roux, then milk based bechamel to thicken it? I dont mind the chunky shrooms.

>>8611143
Not that anon, but in my personal experience mushroom soup is better without cream. Maybe double-down on butter, toss in some more flavorful mushrooms like shiitake or maitake.

I bet that would be good. Go for it. I would chop the mushrooms pretty finely if it were me.

>>8611094
>cooking sherry

>>8611208
As opposed to drinking sherry, which is much more expensive and unnecessary for mushroom soup for poor people.

>>8608256
cauliflower is dirt cheap around where I live, so I make soup with it on a regular basis.

>>8608273
Look up Olive Garden's 'zuppa toscana' recipe.
When forced to go with family as a youngster, this was the only thing that was palatable. Then I made my own with high quality ingredients, and boom. Fukken great.

Potatoes, Italian snausage, cream, kale, aromatic veggies - easy, creamy, satisfying

>>8612118
Oh, but this isn't a puree.. whoops. Still DELISH

>>8608273
CHICKEN STOCK CREAM AND A BAG OF LEFTOVER FRIES FROM FIVE GUYS + A STICK BLENDER

>>8612132
>CHICKEN STOCK CREAM
w-what's that?

Brocoli and tomatoe (not together ! ! !)

>>8611259
cooking sherry is really bad for cooking, though.

>>8611077
why is mushrooms in a cheap food gen? isn't it basically some of the most expensive produce you can get relative to nutritional value?

>>8612230
I like this meme.

>>8612629
>filled with too much salt even if you put no other salt in it, which would exclude most supermarket stock
>tastes worse than any sherry, even the dirt cheapest

>>8612641
Get saltless stock. Also, we're trying to keep things cheap ITT. There's good cooking sherrys for 5 dollars.

>>8612688
if you wanna keep things cheap maybe don't buy sherry at all?

>>8608266
>>8608269
The correct answer is carrots you fucksticks.

>>8608256
cauliflower or celery root

>>8612702
OKay

protip: peanut butter tastes better than creams in pumpkin soup

>>8608256
Onion soup with melted cheese

>>8612849
how does one make onion soup?

depends, is broccoli or zucchini cheap? Those make for fucking top soups. Also, pumpkin when it's seasonal.

>>8612909
If only there was some sort of search engine to quickly look up simple things on the internet

>>8612958
I don't trust any information that isn't from you.

>>8608256
I really love split pea soup. It's not "pureed" but everything (except the meat, which is optional) turns to mush when it's fully cooked.

Split peas, onions, carrots, salt, pepper, water, bay leaves (remove before eating), optional ham or smoked turkey. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about two hours.
