Working Mom Special - Fancied Up Chicken Noodle Soup and Grilled Cheese

I'm always looking for quick ways to jazz up a meal that is made from pre-made ingredients.  This meal was inspired by my 3 year old son's request for chicken noodle soup for dinner.  Of course he didn't end up touching the soup, but it was delicious nonetheless.

Soup:
1 can chicken noodle condensed soup
1 can cream of chicken condensed soup
1 medium carrot
small bunch of chives
  1. Combine soups and add water as described on can's instructions.
  2. Heat over med-hi burner.
  3. Grate carrot and add to soup.
  4. Once soup is steamy, add the chives by snipping them with scissors.  Stir to combine and remove from heat.  
Grilled Cheese:
Nothing fancy here.  Make a grilled cheese sandwich however you like it.  I like to make mine with a nice whole wheat bread and 2 slices of american cheese.  
  1. Toast the bread lightly.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp olive oil over med heat.
  3. Make a sandwich with the cheese and grill in the pan.  
  4. Done.
Enjoy!
