1 medium onion, coarsely chopped (approx. 25 cents) 1/2 medium head of cabbage, coarsely chopped (approx. 50 cents) 1/2 cup barley (approx. 25 cents... about $2 for a small box) 3 cubes beef bouillon (approx. 10 cents.... I buy the jars of store brand and stock up when they are on sale) 1/2 cup of catsup (just pennies if you buy store brand on sale or use coupons) 34 cups water (enough to cover the cabbage and make broth) I usually make this from ingredients around the house, so I am estimating the cost. Throw it all in a pot, bring to a boil and cook

about 30 minutes. Serve with a nice loaf of crusty homemade bread and you have dinner that's practically free!
