A thought experiment for the Arfcom culinary types. Let's say that all you have is a can of chicken noodle soup. Your fridge/pantry contains no other food.  Just stuff to put on/in food in case you get some. Food accessories if you will. What would you add to the can of bland soup?

Canned peas or corn would be good.

i don't know how much one could do with pre-made soup without adding other ingredients (spice it and stew it maybe?), but minimalism a great exercise.  here's a great video on a 2-ingredient dish: chicken and mushrooms.  other than seasoning and butter, that's literally the entire recipe.

this might run afoul of the 'no other food' rule.  i suspect he means pantry items only: seasoning/spice, oil, vinegar, etc.  but i could be wrong.

I guess vegetables could be added. They are a food accessory.

throw in a few tablespoons of salsa and a can of diced green chilis, add a dash of hot pepper sauce...

If i was pretty damn desperate to taste something besides chicken noodle soup, i would first separate broth noodles and chicken. One thing that then comes to mind is chicken chili on top of noodles. Another thing is to try to make sone kind of pasta dish. Yet another alternative is to make a noodle noose and hang myself.

Add black pepper and set the soup to simmer, let it reduce to thicken and add some hot sauce

Or pick out the noodles, smash them up and form them into balls, and then pour reduced broth on them as a ghetto ass chicken and "dumplings"
Add preferred seasonings to the noodle mush

"And in your ingredient basket you will find:
Canned chicken soup.
Can corn.
Hot sauce.
Pencil shavings.
A rubber squeekey toy.
Forty inches of black paracord.

You have thirty minutes to create a dish featuring all these ingredients.

And the clock starts NOW!"

Sounds like a recipe for autoerotic asphyxiation to me!

If I was poor enough to only have a can of chicken noodle soup, I imagine hunger would be the only spice needed to make it a feast.
