my guess: chicken pot pie.

Correct!

I went looking for Pot Pie recipes and came up with this one. I think it illustrates why so many folks thought "aha, soup!"

Russell Dye's "Real Chicken Pot Pie" on Cooks.com

REAL CHICKEN POT PIE

chicken breasts, boneless
2 cups rice
1 can of Campbell's Cream of Chicken Soup
1 can of Campbell's Cream of Chicken & Herbs Soup
carrots and potatoes, in quantity desired
1/4 minced Vidalia onion (for flavoring)
1 can of corn, drained
1 can of peas, drained
1 or 2 clove garlic, minced
3 tubes Pillsbury's crescent rolls

oooh... *yum*

*saves to "receipes" in memories*

p.s. Is it cheating if I remembered some of that from reading the label as a kid when my mom used to serve those to us?

I'd vote for inedible.

serendipity17 July 18 2008, 18:51:15 UTC

It certainly seems that way--but it wouldn't be on the menu if it didn't sell. :-(

Looks like some manner of instant soup. I almost want to say pot pie, but I would hope water wouldn't be the first ingredient if that were the case.

serendipity17 July 18 2008, 18:28:07 UTC

Water to moisten and bind the "creamy sauce", I presume. Chicken broth is mostly water, even when done properly. I was surprised by that, though.

Soup? Maybe Campells Chicken Noodle?

serendipity17 July 18 2008, 18:50:29 UTC

I can't find an ingredient list for that soup, but I agree that many of the broth-replacement ingredients look similar.

I agree with "Soup", but it's not an "add water" soup. Not something you created, I'm sure.

Heavens no, not of my kitchen. This is the end result of trying to find "buttery spread" in the KFC website ingredient .pdf .

whalejudge July 20 2008, 03:11:42 UTC

Ah. I lost interest in KFC. I don't like skin on my chicken.

serendipity17 July 20 2008, 18:12:58 UTC

I peel all the skin off and reduce the chicken to a pile of skin-free, gristle-free bits before starting to eat. We only eat there when we're on the road with no local options nor In'N'Out. Greasy whole-muscle is better than greasy ground-muscle, in my opinion.
