Looking through my cupboard (what some would call the cabinet) finding several cans of soup there. Mostly chicken noodle soup but this one was there too. I don't know why I was looking, wasn't really hungry and not for soup for that matter. So I pull this can out, looking on the label I see a recipe. Ingredients included of course the soup, duh... chicken breast, rice, vegetables and a bit of this that and the other spices. Pepper, onion salt, etc...
Well having most, but not all the ingredients, I try a little something. Having most most but not all the required ingredients I figure who the heck needs vegetables, the cheese we can skip and who needs onion salt when we have onions? So I start the dish about 9:30 pm, can't quite figure if this would be snupper, or dinack... late dinner to say the least. Turned out to be a tasty little something though. After I was done I thought I should have thrown the broccoli I have in the freezer in, just to get rid of it; if nothing else. Did add some American cheese on one helping (I had 3 bowls) recipe called for cheddar, but cheese is cheese.. right? oh I forgot, needed 3/4 cup of water too... should have subed some beer for that. But anyway... If the can says "cream of..." use it to cook; and usually there is some recipe on the can, sub, make do, or replace by taste you can always make something happen. My x wife would make a dish with cream of mushroom, mac n cheese minus the cheese sauce ( I thought a helping of elbow macaroni would have sufficed), but then I wasn't the one at the stove. It was late, I was hungry and the chicken needed cooked soon to not be wasted... worked for me, what do you thing?
