We really liked this and will be having it again. DH was pleasantly surprised because he hadn't expected to like it. I didn't have any cream of chicken soup, so I made it with 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 1 can of pepper jack cheese soup. I served this with Western Chili Rice, a recipe from the October 2007 issue of Home Cooking magazine which I have posted to 'zaar.
