Garbage Soup

So I'm living in four different places right now waiting until I can move into my own place (Wednesday!! YAY!). This means I have a very odd assortment of foods at my disposal. So, today when I was craving soup, I knew it would be an interesting affair. What I really want is what google search tells me is sometimes called "Poor Irish Soup" with ham and cabbage and potatoes. This is what I ended up making:

I started with a base of Campbell's Vegetable Soup, which is disgusting, so I'll never eat it.
I added some scraps of cabbage and bemoaned how horrible it tasted.
I had...maybe a cup and a half of old rice I'd made with chicken bouillon that was too old to eat alone, so I dumped that in.
Then about a finger's breadth of extra tomato sauce to help with the base taste, as well as some garlic powder, basil, paprika, and oregano.
Then I brought it to a boil, covered it with a plate (I don't own lids. >.<) and simmered it.

The result? It's edible. I wish I had some sour cream to mix in there. It's a bit tomato-y but I took a can of soup I'd never eat and made it edible so....I guess I can't complain too much. :) I'll try some cheese on top and quit whining. I'm lucky I was able to make soup.

Mac and cheese would have been a good addition as well.

Update: I mixed in some "Mexican Blend" shredded cheese and it's now delicious! :)
