Ingredients
- 1 can Progresso chicken noodle soup
- 1 cup water
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Open the can of Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup carefully using a can opener, ensuring no sharp edges are exposed.
- Pour the entire contents of the soup can into a medium-sized saucepan.
- Add 1 cup of clean, fresh water to the saucepan to help dilute the soup and adjust the consistency to your preference.
- Place the saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Heat the soup for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until it reaches a gentle simmer and is thoroughly heated throughout.
- Stir the soup periodically to ensure even heating and distribute the chicken, noodles, and vegetables uniformly.
- Once the soup is steaming hot and the noodles are tender, remove from heat.
- Optional: Chop fresh parsley and sprinkle on top of the soup for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Carefully pour the hot soup into serving bowls, ensuring an even distribution of chicken, noodles, and broth.
- Let the soup cool for 1-2 minutes before serving to avoid burning your mouth.
Tips
- Enhance the Flavor: For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or a splash of soy sauce to the soup while it heats. This can elevate the taste and make it even more delicious!
- Customize Your Soup: Feel free to toss in additional vegetables like carrots or peas for added nutrition and texture. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly if you add fresh ingredients.
- Garnish for Presentation: A sprinkle of fresh parsley not only adds a pop of color but also brings a fresh flavor that complements the soup beautifully.
- Perfect Consistency: If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of water you add. Start with ½ cup and adjust to your liking.
- Serve with Bread: Pair your soup with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal that’s sure to satisfy.
- Store Leftovers Wisely: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove for the best texture.
