novel_machinist made a good point about some of my cooking experiments. I should write them down. So here's two. More to follow as I find more time.



Garlic Mushroom Potato Soup

This uses a Rice Cooker in order to cook everything. This can be done over a stove or in a microwave if you have a lot of patience.

Ingredients:

1 Clove of Garlic (or some dried garlic, but real actual garlic is best)
1 Can of Campell's Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 Can of Sliced Mushrooms (fresh would also work)
1/2 a box of boxed Potato Soup (or to taste... more potato means less cream, after all. should at least be equal parts to cream of mushroom)

Directions:

Chop up garlic clove and mince as good as possible. Doesn't have to be perfect.

Throw all ingredients together into rice cooker, and stir until the cream of mushroom blends into the potato soup. Cover and check and stir occasionally. When it starts to bubble it should be done.

Tasty Beefy Soup (or Soup When You're Out of Canned Broth)

Ingredients:

1 Package of Lawry's Au Jus seasoning
1 Clove of garlic
1 Can of sliced carrots
1/2 a box of Firm Tofu
Noodles (I used egg noodles, any noodle from ramen to macaroni would work)

Directions:

Throw Au Jus and garlic into 3 cups of water (or basically the carrying capacity of my rice cooker) or more. Cook uncovered and stir until it starts to smell good. Add in tofu and noodles and cover to make sure the noodles cook. After it's been cooking a while add the canned carrots (if using fresh, add sooner). Uncover and reduce to warming heat when the noodles are tender. If they are particularly hard to cook noodles you may want to throw them in a bit before the tofu. Feel free to add or substitute vegetables, onions in particular might be a nice addition (I was out, else I would have used some).
