I can't believe I never rated this recipe! I stumbled upon recipezaar by accident over a year ago and this recipe was featured on the front page. I knew I had all the ingredients at home so I whipped it up for lunch. It was very good! And ever since I found this recipe I have been hooked on recipezaar, and I guess I kind of owe it to this recipe! Thanks :)

What a clever idea! I used 1/4 t. garlic powder but will use the full 1/2 t. next time. I loved the addition of parmesan on top. Super quick lunch for me to make!

I made this with tomato-with-basil-and-oregano soup, and only used half the flavor packet. Next time, I'll use the whole packet...the taste just wasn't noticeable. Not bad for a quick lunch.

What an interesting recipe! I admit that I was a little bit skeptical, but I bit the bullet and gave it a try. Amazingly easy for a quick lunch! Thanks for sharing!

We usu. have Ramen soup once a week for lunch. This is a great way to have it different. It's easy enough for the kids to make. I added TVP for some protein and didn't use the cheese. All the kids liked it. I doubled the recipe, but used only 1 flavor packet.
