You could cook up a big batch of whole wheat noodles at the beginning of the week and add some of those to your mug.
My boyfriend loves those, I can't stand them but I've found a few ways to be able to tolerate them if I really need some soup. They're convenient in a pinch but I wouldn't rely on them solely. However, you could use one packet but add some frozen mixed veggies to it to stretch it and then add some low-sodium chicken stock or water if you need more liquid. You could also stretch it with some low-fat cheese on the side, a piece of toast, etc.
Also, you could make your own soup at the beginning of the week and eat on it all week if you have the time. Just add some chicken, some veggies, and some water/stock to a pot or a slow cooker and simmer for as long as it takes to get the chicken cooked (or used pre-cooked for faster prep). Add already cooked pasta at the end or uncooked pasta at the beginning.
HTH!
