The fastest "homemade" soup ever
-
I remember in college, this girl came over to help me with a project. She had heard about my cooking and somehow I had ran out of time and I had invited her over for homemade lunch in exchange for her assistance. I made some weird dish where you lined the bottom and sides of a casserole with cooked rice like 3 or 4 inches thick (which we had on hand that day) and filled it with some kind of sauce with meat cut in tiny pieces thickened with cornstarch. I don't remember, I had to make so many substitutions due to lack of ingredients I was amazed that it came out fairly well and for some reason, she really liked it. The thing I do remember was the soup. I had to combine the two and add ingredients since I assumed everyone ate Campbell's soups and I figured she would recognize either one straight out of the can.
1 can Campbell's chicken with rice soup, condensed
1 can Campbell's chicken gumbo, condensed
1 carrot, peeled and make round slices with the potato peeler, starting off the large end. They will be paper thin and therefore will cook quickly - this most of all gives the soup its homemade appearance.
3 soupcans water
1/2 can stewed tomatoes, cut each tomato piece into smaller pieces
1/2 cup minute rice
2 Tbsp. dried minced parsley flakes
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. instant minced onionIf you are in a super hurry like I was that day, you can open the soups, add water and start adding the other ingredients as the soup begins to heat on the stove.
This will fool almost anyone into thinking it is homemade soup.
