31 Days of Soups, Chili, and Stews from 5DollarDinners.com

This month I’m going to give you an amazing collection of chili, soup and stew recipes. You’ll save a ton of money on meals without sacrificing taste or nutrition with these recipes.

As fall and winter begins, now is the perfect time to make a giant pot of soup. Warm and nourishing, soup is the ultimate meal in a bowl, and can easily be a ‘one-pot’ meal. (And most of them freeze well, too!) The following recipes are affordable, easy to make, and can easily be adjusted to feed a crowd or a simple dinner for one or two. Try one this week — your wallet and your stomach are sure to thank you.

They’re perfect for lunch or a light dinner, or as a accompanying dish to any meal. This collection of tempting recipes proves that affordable eating really can be delicious!
