Recipe
This one served me well during my days at uni:

1 x Plain Egg Noodles (dry kind that Legless mentioned, about 8p at the cheapest but Sharwood's are best)

2 x Spring Onions, chopped.

1 x Chicken stock cube.

1/3 pack of pre-cooked Sainsbury's basics sliced chicken breast.

Maybe a chilli, chopped, if you like, beansprouts, chorizo, prawns, basically anything.

Method:

Make stock with boiling water and cube.
Put in spring onion and chicken and chilli, simmer for a bit.
Add noodles and cook until noodles are done (in the region of 3 to 4 mins)

Et voila. Noodle Soup.

Ummm
prawns and chorizo are quite expensive, so hardly reeks of desparation - unless you're saying you are so desparate to eat this that you were willing to buy prawns and chorizo.

sounds nice, but...............
The fact there are 4 (or 7) different food stuffs, and that they may all be considered 'ingredients in the same dish' kind of makes it a moot point.

Even basics chicken was sometimes beyond my means as a student
and I lived in Bradford, which was as cheap as it gets!

Haribo
Indeed they are, but I added those when I wasn't as hard up, because it's actually pretty nice in itself and something i still make from time to time.

The thing with basics chicken was the pack lasted 3 to 4 goes with this noodle soup thing, so it wound up pretty cheap on the whole, and substantive.
