After the holidays, most home cooks need a break. Elaborate recipe for cookies or ham? Forget it. What the tired January cook needs is something cozy, warm and so easy to throw together. That's where canned soup comes in.
Canned soup really is a hunger-saving wonder. As long you buy a good canned soup, all you need to do is crack open the lid and heat the contents in a pot, and you're quickly on your way to a comforting lunch or dinner.
On the flip side, canned soup can also be a beautiful blank canvas for even more flavor. We recently came across a one-ingredient trick to make canned chicken noodle soup extra cozy. According to the Frugal Reddit thread, the quick and easy way to make better canned chicken noodle soup is to add canned biscuits.

A canned biscuit improves anything it touches. When they're snipped into pieces and dropped in a pot of soup, they cook up into tender, flavorful dumplings in the broth. Plus, because canned biscuits come in a pack of 8, you have more than enough to make chicken and dumplings throughout the week or for a large crowd—or you can bake up the leftovers to serve alongside your soup.

How to Make Chicken Noodle Soup with Canned Biscuits
Pour canned chicken noodle soup into a pot. Bring to a boil. Slice or snip a couple of biscuits into smaller pieces, then drop the biscuit bits into the simmering soup. Start with two-ish biscuits per can of soup and adjust as needed. Cook the biscuits in the soup for 10 minutes or until the biscuits are light and fluffy and they float to the top. Serve immediately.

Do yourself a favor and bookmark these Reddit comments before you start to cook. "You can cut the biscuits into smaller pieces before cooking. Helps make sure they cook all the way through, plus will go further," said one helpful Redditor. "Personally I like triangles. ?"
Follow the lead of this Redditor for a taste of Jewish comfort: "If you add matzo balls it lasts longer (and is cheaper) than biscuits! You can find it in the kosher section next to the latke (potato pancakes) they both I believe are currently 99 cents at your local grocer!"

What I Thought of Chicken Noodle Soup with Canned Biscuits
Food writers call something a "hug in a bowl" but I've never felt the need to lob that expression at any dish I've eaten. That really changed with this chicken noodle biscuit soup. The biscuits gave the soup a thicker, creamier consistency and the biscuits cooked up perfectly pillowy and tender. While I did get chicken and dumpling vibes, this mostly reminded me of a crustless chicken pot that was slow-cooked for hours.
And before you ask if the biscuits compete with the noodles, they sure don't. Both play their own special role in this soup. The noodles are tender and bouncy and the biscuits are soft and extra comforting.
Should you add biscuits to your canned chicken noodle soup? Absolutely. In fact, canned biscuits would be a wonderful addition to whatever brothy canned soup flavors you like. Maybe I'll try beef and barley next?
