Mix ketchup packets and sugar packets 4 ketchup to 1 sugar in the hot water, about 8 ketchup packets, per one standard sized free cup of hot water. will give you a nice thick creamy soup and a hot lunch is yours free.
use the salt/pepper and crackers added for taste and those important calories!

"Ok so your a hobo"? That should be "you're". Spellchecking before publishing would help.

This is great for a "poor college student" too, since most college students have a drawer full of various fast food condiment packets.

I have seen a simaler recipe they added a packet or 2 of non diary creamer to make it even more "rich and creamy". there used to be a website on how to use all kinds of free condiments to make meals but it went away.
