Southern Savers

Every month, I’m trying to share a selection of recipes that work well in the freezer. I personally love having meals ready in the freezer, but spending all day cooking or making 30 meals at once just doesn’t seem feasible. Soups are one kind of meal that are great to freeze and so easy to reheat. You can reheat on the stove or in the slow cooker, depending on how much time you have. I rounded up 5 freezer soup recipes that all use similar ingredients. I didn’t necessarily plan it this way, but these 5 freezer soup recipes together use very little meat and lots of canned items, making them extremely frugal!

Note: The shopping list will make enough for ONE of each of these recipes. The number of servings is included. If you want to double or triple a recipe, you’ll need to visit the link and make sure you get enough of the ingredients.

Stock the Freezer: Freezer Soup Recipes (with Shopping List!)

Slow Cooker Tomato Soup (serves 4)

This tomato soup freezes beautifully. When you’re ready to eat it, make some grilled cheese to go along with it.

30 Minute Chili (serves 4)

This is a Southern Savers family favorite soup recipe and it freezes so well. You can make some cornbread to go with it and freeze that, too.

Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup (serves 6)

When you’re ready to serve this, make sure you have toppings like shredded cheese and sour cream on hand, or even some tortilla chips.

Did you know that every area and paper gets different coupons in their inserts?

This is one of the biggest things that can frustrate couponers — we all want the great coupons but sometimes only a few select areas get them. Each week volunteers send in insert variation lists to show exactly what coupons were in their papers. I take these and put them into the coupon database. In turn you can then have shopping lists that only show the coupons in your area! Take a look at the coupon insert variations for 03/19, below.

Click on your newspaper to see which coupons you actually received.

If your paper is not covered and you’re interested in helping, feel free to email me at jenny@southernsavers.com for directions. I promise it’s easy!

As volunteers send me their lists I will continue to update this list.

A legend for the list:
Black = You got this coupon!
Red = Not in this insert
Blue = A change in value, or a new coupon not in the preview.
