http://talesfromthetinyholding.blogspot.com/p/soups-from-tinybudget-how-to-make.html

Soups from the tinybudget (how to make things go further). 15 pts of chicken stock. 1-2 tsp dried tarragon. 1-2 tsp ground nutmeg. Chopped roughly and simmer until cooked. Then blended until as smooth as you like soup. Add a bit more boiled water if it is too think for your taste. (I like my soup gloopy). Chard and potato soup. 3-4 cloves of garlic. A knob of butter.
