Click link for directions!! *I changed the recipe by skipping the bacon and adding sliced black olives. Also, I spread the biscuit dough on the bottom of a 9x9 pan, cooked it for 5 minutes at 350F before adding toppings and then baking for another 30 minutes. I felt the 9x9 pan made 9 servings easier to distribute.
Butternut Squash Chicken Sausage Soup adapted from Weight Watchers (4 servings)
I stumbled across this recipe because I bought a package of cubed butternut squash for $1.25 at Ralph's. Since I had extra chicken sausage from the Meat Lover's Bubble Up Pizza, I figured it would be a great way to use up more ingredients!

- 4 chicken sausage links (Used the rest from the Bubble Up Pizza, $3.20 for 4 links)
- Nutmeg, Salt, Pepper, Thyme, Bay Leaf (Just because I had them in the cupboard)
Total cost for recipe: $6.71 makes 4 servings, or $1.68 per servings!
4 servings for 4sp each!
Directions:
- Saute 1tsp olive oil and diced onion with minced garlic.
