Review:

Totally easy recipe if you’re on the run and need to throw in some dinner.  The serving possibilities are endless as well.  I like to get away from using “cream of” soups all the time but every now and then it’s just fine, I think.  My whole family liked this recipe.  The kids ate it as tacos and Greg and I ate it over salad.  I think it would be really yummy to add in a can of beans and some corn as well.  3 1/2 stars.
