1 pack of pre cooked mussels £1

Tin of value sweetcorn 35p
Some milk
Chicken stock cube
Spoonful of low fat 'I cant believe it is supposed to taste like better'
Chicken stock cube
A tablesppon or so of double cream
Salt & Peppar to taste

Chop onion and start to cook off in the spread in a soup pan
Open and drain the potatoes and sweetcorn and add
Warm through and then add milk (1/4 pint or as you feel)
Add stock cube
Now lightly blitz with a hand blender, leave it all nice and chunky
