Cheese Toast + Chicken Noodle Soup
If we were really making the chicken noodle soup, this would lose its “quick and easy” distinction. So, get yourself a can of chicken noodle soup and put it aside. Then get some bread, butter, and sliced cheese (I’m using regular Kraft singles here, but it works with nearly anything). Spread some butter on the bread, then put a piece of cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees. I cooked three pieces for about 12 and half minutes. At around ten minutes into cooking (for three pieces), start checking the cheese to see how brown it is. Take it out when it looks like the picture. Cook the chicken noodle soup according to instructions on the can (I like the Progresso, even though what’s pictured here is traditional Campbell’s condensed… not as good, but you work with what you’ve got).
UPDATE: Dylan reminds me I forgot to mention you should remove the wrapper from the individual slices of cheese. My God, that could have been a liability nightmare. Thanks Dylan.
Ok, this post was just fine through the title. But I find it odd, and just a little bit disturbing, that you went on to actually provide “recipes” for the can of soup and the cheese toast. I’m guessing any of your readers could have figured out the cheese toast even.
You overestimate the culinary skills of the undergrad-aged crowd and also of my borderline alcoholic friends. I know people who are otherwise very intelligent but need full instructions to cook anything more complicated than frozen waffles.
I freakin’ love it.
If you were to actually make the soup from a soup mix it wouldn’t take much longer. You have to boil (or just cook) the chicken, drain, shred(or cut), add 9 cups of water, stir in the content of the soup mix(I use Wyler’s), bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for about 20 minutes. It’s alot fucking better. You can add things like mushrooms. The soup mix already had noodles, carrots, celery, and spices.
Yeah, Lush…
Now that I’ll have some money to throw around again, I’ll probably do some better cooking.
Is it just me, or did you forget to take the shiny plastic wrapper off the cheese slices?
Because I did that once in a lasagna, and, well, I don’t wanna brag… but it is one of the main reasons I got a superpower.
Jesus Dylan! You’re right! I’d better update this post.
