It costs about $13 to make a pot of soup that creates about 10 to 12 individual servings.

Holy cow, what are you putting in your soup?
I save and freeze the bones/skin etc from split chicken breasts after deboning and using the meat for another dish. I then use them to make chicken noodle soup or avgolemono (Greek chicken & rice) soup. In a big stock pot I put water, the frozen bones/trimmings, a couple teaspoons of broth powder, stalk of celery and some carrots. Boil, strain, pick bones for meat, slice up carrots (and some of the celery if desired), return those to pot with strained liquid. Bring back to boil and add sufficient vermicelli or capellini, broken into little pieces, lower heat and simmer until noodles are done.

We use the whole chicken, different types of pasta, bok choi, some carrot, a little cabbage, and spices. Once in a while we add some cubes of chicken bullion to add just a little more chicken flavor.

“Broth powder”? Are you talking about bouillon powder?
