This was and still is one of my favorite comfort meals. Like so many things that my Mom made when I was growing up, there was no recipe for this dish; I had to invent it myself from memory. This is as close as I can get it without resorting to time travel.

*I have also successfully made this dish substituting 1 1/2 to 2 cups of creamy dip for the soup, such as my Knorr vegetable dip!

    My wife prepared this for dinner tonight and it was good. It is also easy to make and makes a lot for a couple or small family.
