I did not have time to mess around with cooking last night. I used frozen leftover turkey cubes, but otherwise,followed the recipe exactly. WOW!! Dig in your cupboards and make this tonight! The addition of the peas made it mildly sweet and the cheese added the flavor. The neighbor girl ate 3 helpings and went on and on about how I cook better than her mom! (yikes) There was not one drop left - which is a miracle because the fam usually doesn't like things "mixed together" Thanks for making me look good! PS. I liked it that you added the macaroni and cooked them in the soup mixture. I hate precooking noodles!

I made this recipe on 12/5/12 for the " Simple And Relaxed December Dinner Fare " event in the Food Photo Forum. Except for leaving out the mushrooms,( I don't care for them )the recipe was made exactly as written. This recipe doesn't take long to make at all, and if you use leftover chicken the time to make would be even faster.My SO and I both enjoyed the taste,but felt like it needed a bit of " something " . If this is made again, a bit of garlic powder maybe added. " Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "
