8 Cheap 3-Ingredient Soups for Seniors Living Alone ‐ No Pot of Leftovers

8 Cheap 3-Ingredient Soups for Seniors Living Alone ‐ No Pot of Leftovers There is a soup you used to make that you have not made in a long time, and it is not because you stopped liking it. You stopped because the recipe made enough for a family, and a big pot for one person stopped being worth the trouble. In this video, Randy shares eight cheap three-ingredient soups built for one, each designed to make dinner instead of a week of leftovers. These easy single-serving soup recipes are perfect for older adults, seniors, and anyone cooking for one or two who wants a real bowl of soup without a stockpot or a carton of broth they only use half of, and younger viewers will find them just as useful. You will learn soups like egg drop soup in five minutes, tomato soup that tastes like a grilled cheese afternoon, potato and cheese soup thickened by the potato itself, and bean and sausage soup that eats like a meal. Randy also covers chicken and rice soup, corn chowder, and a kettle-made potato soup that does not use the stove at all. The last one is not even a recipe, because it teaches you the three-part shape behind every soup, one liquid, one substantial ingredient, and one flavor builder, so you can make soup out of whatever is already in your kitchen. More importantly, each soup comes with the small technique that makes it work, like pouring beaten egg in a slow thin stream so you get soft ribbons instead of shreds, adding dairy at the end and never into a hard boil, mashing a few beans or potato pieces against the pan to thicken the broth without flour, and making rice soup a little looser than you want because rice keeps drinking liquid as it sits. Randy also answers the common fixes, including what to do when soup is too thin, too flat, too salty, too thick, or scorched. Tell us in the comments which soup you are going to make first, and if there is a soup you used to make and stopped, tell us what it was.
