Chicken Soup

Ingredients:

1 whole fryer chicken (.79 a lb. on sale)
1 bag carrots (.50 a bag)
1 bunch celery (.50 a bunch)
1 onion (? not much)
1 cup rice or barley (about .20, I buy in bulk)
1 can chicken broth (.59 store brand)
enough water to cover everything
salt, pepper, and garlic salt to taste (pennies)

Directions: 

Crock pot fryer chicken for about 3 hours on high in broth, salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Remove chicken from bone. Cut up carrots, celery and onion into bite size pieces. Add to broth along with rice or barley. Add seasoning to taste. Crock pot for another couple hours to allow vegetables to cook, and flavors to blend.

Cost per serving: about .50 (It's about $5.00 for the whole recipe)
