Soup and Sandwich a Cheap Meal to Take Bite Out of Tax Day

Frontier Soups April specials offer a healthy gourmet twist on the economical soup and sandwich supper for Americans who are feeling Uncle Sam pinch their wallets on tax day April 15.

Comforting Homemade In Minutes Mississippi Delta Tomato Rice Soup and Connecticut Cottage Chicken Noodle Soup are specially priced at $3.95, discounted from $6.  Shoppers also will receive a free packet of Green Onion Dip Mix and Bread Spread with each order, said Trisha Anderson, founder of Frontier Soups.

“A soup and sandwich combo is a great go-to idea for cheap easy meals and cheap healthy meals,” Anderson said, “and just because a soup and sandwich supper doesn’t put a dent in the wallet doesn’t mean that it can’t be a flavorful and satisfying meal.”

Pair tomato rice soup with a grilled gruyere or sharp cheddar cheese sandwich, or for a distinctively different condiment, spread prepared Green Onion Dip Mix on hearty wheat bread with thick sliced tomatoes for an easy vegetarian meal, she said.  Frontier Soups twist on everyday tomato soup comes with a vegetable base of yellow peppers, carrots, onions, leeks and shallots with an addition of two tablespoons of brown sugar to mute the acidity of the tomatoes and add a subtle sweetness.

“Chicken noodle soup is a perfect partner with a sandwich from leftover Easter dinner ham,” she added.  “Our pantry item for April, Wisconsin Wilderness Cranberry Mustard, makes an ordinary ham sandwich taste like you splurged at a fancy bistro.”  The cranberry mustard is on sale in April for $3.95, which is $2.05 off the regular $6 price.

The quick-cooking, easy-to-prepare dry soup mixes are ready in about 30 minutes and will serve a family of four.  Frontier Soups gourmet soup mixes make all natural soup with no added salt, preservatives or MSG.  Fresh ingredients are added to perfectly-seasoned dry ingredients to create truly homemade meals with easy-to-follow recipes.  Since the right seasonings are included, Anderson says home cooks don’t need a cupboard full of costly herbs and spices.
