i get the 10lb bags of legs/thighs for $2.99

debone everything -> freeze some
skin & bones go into stock

I hate rice and pasta. They taste like hot shit. I like whole-wheat bread, though.

I find as far as noodles go, rice are the only good ones. Most suck dick, I only eat soup with rice, I make cheese rice instead of macaroni, I eat rice pilaf chicken instead of chicken soup, etc etc

Potatoes are usually cheap too, if you like those you're all good.

Sheeeit, those bags cost at least $6 where I am. Still a good deal though

Just get a whole chicken. They're easy as fuck to cut up, and you'll have a chicken skeleton to make stock out of for soup.

Agreed. And homemade stock makes every cheap soup instantly better, I'll throw my family recipe on here:
>Take the bones and skin off the chicken
>Brown these in a stock pot
>throw in a bunch of celery, a few carrots, a couple sweet onions, brown as well
>One tbsp peppercorns, one tbsp kosher salt, a bunch of sage and thyme, 2 bay leaves
>ten quarts of water, cook down half of this
>Strain
>Liquid gold

Beans and rice are a classic combination that have helped many a poor person.

I would go with liver as a wild card as it is cheap, nutritious, and ridiculously fast and easy to prepare.

In addition, eggs and potatoes.
