Roll on the reduced aisle I say and while the transitional Autumn period can't make its mind up about the weather, the bargains I keep finding suggest that about people's buying habits at the minute too.
That's what supermarket's surplus stock is telling me anyhow and since I have to go to my local coop daily to use their post office, I always meander to the cheap sections and came up trumps this morning... hopefully I won't be literally!
So this is today's soup combination: 19p for a pack of 4 apples, 19p for a pair of leeks (or even better if you have homegrown). I will always have a place in my stomach for a bowl of homemade soup; it's warming, comforting and filling when packed with veg and works out approx 12p per portion. Cheaper than chips and tastes lush!
I didn't do any sautéing this time as I don't have the time, so simply threw my ingredients in and sprayed with some Tesco Extra Virgin Olive Oil at the end to serve along with a grating of low fat cheddar (my favourite topping).
So I bloomin' hope you enjoy it and embrace the opportunity when a bargain vegetable comes your way. You could always cook it, freeze it and use it in a soup another day! If in doubt about what soup to turn it in to, just search your vegetable findings on my blog and there's likely to be a recipe for it.

Instructions
- Throw everything in your soup maker if using and set to smooth or if using a pan, simmer for 20-25 minutes until everything is cooked and blend.
