Last Minute Thanksgiving Recipe

Hi gals! Here’s a repost of an old recipe for a quick and easy last minute meal for when you’re too hungover tomorrow to create that green bean casserole you said you would make:

Bored with regular ol’ tomato soup?  I know the feeling, so you know what I said to myself? LETS ADD SOME RICE TO THIS BITCH! A new twist to an old favorite! There are two ways to go about it, and both are AMAZINGLY delicious.

Option 1: The Good Old Fashioned Way  – get in your car now and head to the grocery store! You’re gonna need a lot of shit you definitely don’t have on-hand. Lets be honest, all you have on-hand at all times ever is Sugar-Free Red Bull and gum.

1. Buy a can of tomato soup – like I always say, ANY kind will do. Beware of low sodium soups, the more sodium, the more you’ll enjoy this dish and possibly swell up a little.

2. Buy some rice – where the hell is the rice?  Of course you don’t know! Why would you ever venture past the frozen foods or canned goods section, who has time for that? Ahh. There it is, right next to the Mexican food.  WHAT TACO BELL SELLS TACO SEASONING?!  Buy it, who knows when you’ll need to impress guests with homemade tacos that taste like they came straight from Taco Bell.

3. Go home.

4. Dump the soup into a pot and heat, add water if you have time.

5. Realize that this pot the soup is cooking in is the only pot you have. UGH YOU HAVE TO RINSE IT OUT AND FIND A PLACE TO PUT THE SOUP WHILE THE RICE IS COOKING.   WHATEVER. Dump soup into a giant bowl and set aside.  Then rinse out the pot and start to boil some water.  Grab a Red Bull from the cupboard while you wait FOREVER for the water to boil, and then ask yourself why, with an empty fridge, you keep your Red Bull warm in your cupboard instead of putting it in the fridge?  The water is boiling!  Dump the rice in and cook the shit out of it.

6. Finally after twenty fucking minutes the rice is done! Whoops it’s a little burned and stuck to the bottom, oh well, just make to scrape the bottom extra hard when mixing in the soup. Burned rice has more fiber. Dump the soup back into the rice pot and there you have it. Homemade tomato and rice soup!  Just grab a spoon,  stand over the stove and enjoy!

Option 2: The Too Busy to Slave in the Kitchen All Day Way

1. Buy a can of Tomato Rice soup, bonus if it says it’s “Old Fashioned” – turns out it tastes better than that shit recipe above anyways.
