My heart goes out to those without the knowledge, skill or time to make their own. Great healthy soup is not hard to make. Relatively easy, cheap and with litteral food scraps. 99% of the time requirement is just an unattended pot simmering, with just a wee bit of chopping, tasting as you do and ammending.
If anyone is on a very tight budget, you can go a long way for cheap with:
beans and rice
pulse dishes
soups!
Some important ingredients in a good soup include bones (boil 'em for the broth - beef, pork, chicken, soup company EVP, whatever). Diced carrots, celery and salt and voila! You have an amazing versatile soup base.
Everything else is optional and to taste. Throw in beans, groats, herbs, spices, mushrooms, meats, rice, fish sauce, sirracha, chillies whatever is cheap and available. You can buy from the "almost spoiled" discount section of the grocery because you'll never notice diced up in a soup. You can also dress it up fancy with premium ingredients for a treat and variety.
Old canned and frozen foods are also great in soups.
An instant pot is a great investment. Tons of recipes online, so much easier and faster than tending to something on the stovetop, you don't have to soak the beans, etc.

$0.96 is pretty damn cheap and I don't need to make any extra effort for all the protein I need for the night. I wish I had time and energy to cook more often, but I really appreciate having affordable options like this. If I was single I would be eating very cheaply with very little effort.
That is pretty cheap. You can probably make better for less in bulk.
Have to agree. I love making soup. Often experiment with cheap finds. Throw the leftovers in the freezer.
I really should buy a soup maker. I always see them in the charity stores.
