Soups are one of my favorite meals to make. They are super easy to make in a crock pot and are budget friendly since you can use leftovers and inexpensive ingredients. Soups also contribute to a healthy diet with the right proteins and vegetables. We eat soup on a regular basis in our home during the winter months and this month I decided to make a different soup every day (31 different soups!). Here are 31 days of healthy frugal soups (slow cooker and freezer friendly) for simplified meal planning!

In case you’re curious (or in a hurry):

✅ This specific meal planning tool with 220+ meal ideas is popular with my readers.

TIP:  Freeze half of each recipe and you will have 31 more meals for next month! Be sure to check that each recipe is freezer friendly, some creamed based soups do not freeze well.
