It is a joke of exaggeration ; a humorous over-extension of a sequence:
If I next see miso soup in a year, it will be too soon (too soon because I don't like miso soup)
If I next see miso soup in ten years, it will be too soon
If I next see miso soup in one hundred years, it will be too soon (beginning to be humorous here, since few people alive now will still be alive in 100 years)
If I next see miso soup in one thousand years, it will be too soon (definitely humorous)
If I never see miso soup again, it will be too soon (you get the idea now?)
