It tastes like a pot pie. It is very good and was a huge hit at the dinner party! It is easy to make and doesn't take long at all. I will definitely make this again! -
I didn't follow the low-fat version of this meal but it was still killer. All my friends loved it. I used cream of mushroom and cream of chicken. I didn't have savory though. I also added fresh carrots, onions, celery, broccoli, and peas instead of the frozen mix. It really made a difference. Only downside was that it gave us all pretty bad gas. -
I make dinner to serve at church every Sunday evening. This is a crowd pleasing favorite. I add peas but everything else is identical. This recipe multiplies out easily. Thanks for posting it. -
This recipe was delicious! -
Okay, this should be called "healthier" vs. "healthy" (agreed) but I think LEGG meant that using the lower-fat soups and cutting back on the biscuits makes this version better for you than a traditional version. With that said, I will probably skip the biscuits next time and try sprinking a breadcrumb mixture ontop instead next time since the biscuits are sooo not good for diabetics...(try 3 tbsp butter or margarine with 1 cup breadcrumbs). And, for those of us who want an even healthier alternative to the condensed soups (lower fat versions still pack a wallup in fat and sodium), try recipe#18157 as a cream-soup alternative...I wanted to try this as-is the first go-around but plan to try the alternative next time. We actually found it to be tasty but a little on the dry side, so I might be tempted to add more milk or add a bit of chicken broth.

Very easy to make. I used cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of celery soup. I also just used broccoli without the carrots or cauliflower. It tasted wonderful.
