Desperate times call for desperate prison food. Chicken soup alot of natural sweetcorn and instant mashed potato. The potato has soaked up the chicken soup beautifully. Surprisingly I'm giving it a 8/10 for flavour and fullness. 1/10 for the looks

Instant mashed potatoes hit every time

Idk if you’ve ever been to prison but the food is better than this

[-]

Fukyuiku@reddit

Sounds delicious. Looks good too but I never eat with my eyes

[-]

TrueWelshboy@reddit (OP)

Defo 100% worth a try it's soup with serious meaning just look at the replies in here for a suggestion on how to make it even better.

I make corn soup with chicken using canned corn... Not because I have to. I just like it.

[-]

KTKittentoes@reddit

That looks good. I love chicken corn soup, so I was almost there.

[-]

auld-guy@reddit

I'd crush that. Assignment failed. Not shitty.

[-]

SubatomicSquirrels@reddit

Not shitty.

some of you really need to learn the point of this sub

It's not just for "shitty food" porn. It's also for shitty "food porn". And this is DEFINITELY the latter

Does seem even my lowest attempts always seem to work way too good. I would order this from a 5 star restaurant if they served it.

[-]

Never seen this before, ingenious. Saw y'all talking about adding greens and biscuits amd such as well in the others comments. Got some good struggle meal recipes I'll have to note down in here for when I can eat again. (GI issues taketh sadly but we're working on it 👍)

Step away from the sports-direct mug, lad

TrueWelshboy@reddit (OP)

I'm pouring a sports direct mug of water towards you... enjoy the tsunami! 😆

FrenchFreedom888@reddit

That shit looks gloopy and delicious

[-]

Cookinghist@reddit

If it was super cold outside, couple dashes of hot sauce? I'm a happy dude with that cup o' thiccness.

[-]

cicadason5000@reddit

Kinda a big fan of this like

[-]

AltruisticSalamander@reddit

That looks pretty nice. I mainly eat stuff like this, some combo of dried, frozen, canned whatever.

[-]

prosperos-mistress@reddit

I love me some sloppy stew. I bet this fucks

[-]

Jeramy_Jones@reddit

You made gruel.

It’s okay to admit it.

[-]

TrueWelshboy@reddit (OP)

Now that I'm thinking about it yes it is gruel and it was beyond delicious 😋 would make it again.

[-]

largetreat@reddit

Mashed potato mixup is awesome and super filling.

Here's a bunch of mixins; - spinach (store bought, frozen kind). - tuna. - canned corned beef. - frozen vege & fav cup-of-soup. - gravy (obvs) - crispy bacon & cream cheese - nuggets of cheese

Warm anything your going to add in to stop dish going cold quickly

Turtle_With_Grudge@reddit

Never really thought of using insta mash to thicken up a soup like this. I'll be trying this on a cold day.

[-]

PsychologicalArm2138@reddit

Hmm

agoia@reddit

Chicken, corn, and potato chowder! Sounds tasty.

[-]

MarsScully@reddit

I know it’s objectively fine, but this specifically is my textural and flavour profile nightmare

[-]

TrueWelshboy@reddit (OP)

I got the tism and textures can destroy a meal for me too but this was actually surprisingly wonderful and got absolutely destroyed in minutes. It's just a thicker chicken sweetcorn soup that I will be eating again. This time as suggeseed in the replies I'm making a pie out of it with biscuit dough.

A bit of green onion and I bet this would be bangin.

[-]

Shadowpriest@reddit

Oh could dress this up a number of ways for cheap meal: green onion, bacon crumbles, fried onions, shredded cheese, perhaps some tater tots if you have an air fryer. I would also consider air fry or pan fry a hot dog or sausage and slice into little circles and make it an everything bowl.

[-]

TrueWelshboy@reddit (OP)

I'm still very very full and your suggestions are still somehow making me feel very hungry to try them all and someone mentioned kfc and I want to add kfc chicken gravy to it too... now I feel starving for it.

[-]

Shadowpriest@reddit

I mean at that point grab yourself a piece of biscuit dough and an oven safe little ramekin and roll/stretch over the top to make your own pot pie brush with butter and drizzle the the top with gravy! 🤤

[-]

TrueWelshboy@reddit (OP)

Screenshotted your reply for later use because that just straight up is going to be life changing... genuinely sounds like it would be a big seller worth a road trip. I can tell you go to some amazing eats.

[-]

Shadowpriest@reddit

I love exploring new foods and different ways to make things that would hopefully be yummy to eat. Also grew up in an ethnic home, lived in food desert neighborhoods, and also had to make due with whatever I found around in the kitchen until payday. Or sometimes it took until the 2nd payday to be able to go grocery shopping. Just because a good looks bad doesn't mean it tastes bad too.

[-]

Hot-Refrigerator6583@reddit

Or dill. Just anything green to liven it up a little.

Now I want to try it.

[-]

ainsleighT@reddit

This sounds banging icl

[-]

TrueWelshboy@reddit (OP)

Not going to lie I'm looking forward to making this again but with some spring onion.

[-]

PermanentTrainDamage@reddit

Some finely chopped broccoli would smash

[-]

TrueWelshboy@reddit (OP)

Oooooh! i would smash that like it's a eating contest I also want to try it with kfc chicken gravy too there's just so much inspiration in these replies it's somehow making me feel hungry when I'm still full.

[-]

ZeMadDoktore@reddit

Poor man's corn chowder

[-]

UncleDuude@reddit

Grits are cheap and pretty healthy too, just boil water or soup and dump it in

[-]

TheTrashPanda612@reddit

Smash

SparklingLimeade@reddit

Recipe discovered: potato soup with corn

[-]

FungadooFred@reddit

Looks like a sinus infecrion

[-]

TrueWelshboy@reddit (OP)

I have zero idea why the color balancing along with my warm white lighting only changed the mash into what looks like rank but left the mug untouched. Oversaturated yellows never look good on food. I agree it does look like it was sneezed up.

[-]

Outrageous-Arm1945@reddit

Be careful the instant mash soaked up enough liquid from the soup. I was once served some under-hydrated instant mash, and it swelled in my stomach, it was agonising

[-]

TrueWelshboy@reddit (OP)

Oooooh that sounds beyond agonising and I'm hoping to not get that same curse you went through I'm sweating just thinking about it. The soup itself was quite diluted and the potato was not very thick at the end of making it.
