Have you ever made something that is so simple yet so delicious that you practically slap yourself on the head and say “why haven’t I ever made this before?”!
Well, this Cream of Chicken Soup recipe was like that for me. This recipe is very quick and simple to put together and it tasted fantastic. Even the kids raved and told me that it was “so much better than soup from the store”. Not only that, but it was made out of very inexpensive ingredients! Just call me the Frugal Gourmet!
Note: recipe may be halved if using as a starter or sidedish

Jenn- sounds good to me:)
Here is a tip when I make snow ice cream I only use Sweetened condensed milk and add a little vanilla. It`s quik and easy.
Hey Jenn – can you file this post under “recipe” in addition to “general frugality”? I knew that you had posted this recipe recently, but it was harder to find it since it wasn’t with the other recipes. Thanks!!
