Frugal Friendly Foods: Survival Soup Better Known as Scotch Broth

Do you want to feed 4 people for less than $1? Survival soup may do the trick. This Scottish Broth Soup is a twist on the standard methods for serving beans and rice. The combination of legumes, rice, barley, and seasonings is a wonderful, filling comfort food.

You can store the ingredients separately, create "survival soup" buckets, or store them in jars for individual meals.

Survival Scotch Broth
3/4 cup white rice
1/3 cup pearl barley
1/4 cup red beans
1/4 cup lentils
1/4 cup black beans
1/8 cup split peas
1/8 cup white beans
Soak the beans (red, black, and white) and cook in 4 quarts of water until tender. Add rice, barley, lentils, peas, meat, vegetables, bouillon (or broth), salt, and spices. Cook for an additional 30 minutes.
