How, you say? By making your own soup.
A can of soup (the better kind, not condensed soup) costs ~ $2 a can and that is for about 2 cups worth.
I am making a really easy and delicious lentil soup today. When I'm done, it will cost me about $1.50 for lentils, $1 for meat and 50 cents or so for onions. Those are the main ingredients. I will have over 12 cups of soup when it's finished cooking in the slow cooker.
So, it costs about 26 cents a cup or about a quarter of what the canned soup costs, plus there are no chemicals or hidden preservatives in it.
And lentil soup is really delicious and loaded with fiber to keep you feeling full after you eat it. Whatever you don't eat when you first make it, you can store in a quart jar or plastic container and continue to enjoy it, heated up in the microwave.
