This was fairly quick to put together and I really enjoyed it. I left out the broccoli for personal preference and had to add a lot more milk (I used 2% milk) because it was just too thick. I used the chicken and mushroom soup as suggested which I really like and I used 6 slices of bacon (just because I love bacon) I will probably add some red pepper flakes to kick it up a bit next time and maybe some parmesan cheese. All in all it will make a good lunch for the week. Made for Spring PAC 2014
