Tip

You probably won't need to add salt to these recipes because each can of soup contains about 2/3 teaspoon of salt.

Chicken Casserole

Ingredients

  • 1 whole cooked skinless chicken breast, cubed
  • 1/2 pound wide egg noodles, cooked halfway through suggested time
  • 1 can Campbell's cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Combine the first four ingredients in a glass casserole dish and stir well. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to evenly to distribute. Bake at 350 Fahrenheit for 40 minutes.

Fettuccine Alfredo

Ingredients

  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 can Campbell's cream of chicken soup
  • 8 ounces half and half
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pound fettuccine pasta

Sauté the garlic in the butter and slowly stir in the soup followed by the half and half. Cook over low heat until thoroughly blended and add the wine and pepper. Continue to cook for two minutes and begin to gradually add the cheese, stirring constantly. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back side of a wooden spoon without it running off. If it's too thick, add a little more wine, half and half or milk. When the cheese is fully incorporated, pour it over _al dente _pasta, toss gently and serve with crusty French bread.
