K so i was hungry for lunch, but didnt want a sammich, i was in the mood for cooked food but didnt want a lot of prep.  so heres a soup thing i just made up really quick, thought someone out there may like it so i'm sharing.
this was for my small pot, i only made like two servings, use more of everything for family size.  But i'm a sahm so i just needed lunch for me :)

Onion, broth, celery, seasons, veggies, noodles or rice, package of bisquits.


Cut up some white onion and celery {about 1tablespoon each} and simmer low/medium with a little butter in the bottom of pot. 
While that simmers, preheat oven to package directions, and put bisquits on cookie sheet.  {if you have one of the ones with the double bottom with air pockets, its awesome, no burning like ever lol.}
Add a little water to pot, about 1 tablespoon, just to mix seasonings in.  
    I used unmeasured amounts of celery salt, black pepper, garlic, a little paprika, chives, bay leaves.  I prolly would have added thyme, but i didnt have any.

I added my veggies here, before the broth, to mix with the spices. (thanks taste of home for the tip lol)   I just added Carrots {about 1/2 cup}, cabbage{1 cup cuz i like it}, and baby corn {1/2 cup}.   But I'm sure broccoli, cauliflower, squash, snap peas, ANYTHING would be good in this. 
Oven should be preheated, if not its ok, keep waiting, but if its ready pop those bisquits in!

After veggies have a good coating of the seasoning, add your Broth.  
   I used chicken broth, but using a veggie substitute makes this meal completely vegetarian!!

Add broth till theres about an inch of it OVER your veggies, or higher if you like a more brothy soup.  Add noodles {1 cup} OR rice {3/4 to 1 cup}   If your using rice, you may want more broth as it soaks up. 

Whether your oven preheated or not, put the bisquits in.  they'll be done with the soup :)  
Raise the temp to high, taste/smell the broth and add seasonings as you like.  Set the timer for the Bisquits.  
wash your prep stuff, like knife, mixing spoon, chopping board etc.   you have about 10/15 minutes.
When the timer goes off check the rice/noodles   If they're done your soups ready!   take the bisquits out and eat.

Its not the BEST soup in the world, but if your home alone and want cooked food but dont want alot of prep, here you go.   chopping the onions/celery is the hardest thing, everything else is done while its cooking itself.
  and the bisquits are good for dipping in and soaking up the broth :)

If you like it or no, all well.   At least its here for me to remember lol

If you are like me you usually have chopped up veggies in the fridge already so that would make prepping and cleaning a little easier too.
