If financial circumstances permit do the following: use BOGOFS, use coupons, go through flyers, see what is on sale -buy one get one free, 2 for one , skip the brand names( usually more expensive), see if the store where you shop has goods that might be soon to expire and are reduced
In price. Learn how to extend your food.
You mention ramen. I know it well. If I can, I add to it. Diced onion, if I have corn( preferably frozen) I add some. If you have eggs, add one and stir it in. Add what you might have and want to.
Buy bouillon cubes or packets of seasoning. Make a broth. If you can add some carrot, onion ( I buy soup greens) they can be cut into small pieces and added in and in soup greens there are sprigs of dill, thyme, pieces of celery, parsnips, turnips. They all go well in a broth.
If a meat product is something you can buy at a reduced price, buy it, cook it or add it to your soup. It could be beef, chicken, pork, sausage , or possibly seafood ( shrimp, clams).
Use dried beans and peas. Dried peas makes a great pea soup.
I realize I’ve said a lot here and the bottom line is how much you might have, money wise. But as others have said, if there are soup kitchens, churches, services that will help with good, make use of them. Good luck!
