Cream of Chicken Soup, the house – a retro

First, so I can maintain my position as a food blogger…. It’s really not deserving of the recipe moniker, but it was good and, in keeping with yesterday’s post on Progresso Recipe Sauces, I thought I would pass it along. I made Chicken Noodle Soup a week or so ago. I made rather a big … Continue reading…

Meatball Soup with Cabbage and Barley

Yeah, yeah….. I know that ‘Goulash’ is not soup. It’s also not an American-style ‘hot dish’ made with ‘hamburger, condensed tomato soup and Creamettes Elbow Macaroni’. But, apparently I’ve been wrong a lot lately….. What’s once more? Besides, I’ve seen recipes for ‘Vegetarian Cassoulet’ (aka: Baked Beans) so I can call this Goulash Soup. But … Continue reading…
