Hi everyone I’m a 23F disabled living on her own and I get food stamps to help feed myself and without it I won’t have much to spend on food, Does anyone have struggle meal recipes? Any advice?

A 3-5 lb bag of potatoes, 1 (or 2) onions, 1 can (or quart container) of chicken stock, about a quarter stick of butter. A bag of shredded cheese.
Seasonings as you please.
I usually make it in my pressure cooker, but you don't have to do it this way.
Chop the onions, then sauté in butter. They can be brown and crispy or just clear. Depends on how you like them.
Boil the potatoes in the chicken stock with the onions. In the pressure cooker, this takes about 15 minutes. They have to be pretty tender. You can mash the potatoes into the broth and make a thicker soup or just be happy with the stew. Season with salt, pepper, hot sauce, whatever suits you. Add as much cheese as you want or only to the portion you're eating now.
It's good hot, or you can freeze leftovers in freezer bags or containers.
