Dinner Monday 21 August - Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup
Well, having spent the day sorting through the fridge and the cupboards, it seemed like a good idea to keep working on the food hoard.
I had a salad mid-afternoon, so was not especially hungry tonight. I used to keep Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup around for my version of the old American "Classic", 5-Can Casserole.
There are as many variations of the 5-Can Casserole as there are makers of it, but the version I grew up with comprises
1. can of Cream of Mushroom soup
2. can of macaroni & cheese
3. can of tuna
4. can of corn or mixed veggies
5. can of chow mein noodles
Basically, you mix it all together (along with loads of cheese) and top with the chow mein noodles. Lots of versions have canned chicken (which I have never, in my knowledge, eaten).
Pretty awful.
I used to use the canned soup, tuna, cooked macaroni, sauteed onion, peppers and celery and top with melted cheese. Quick, easy and yummy, but very calorific.
So, I guess I will be having soup out of a tin for a bit... I have several more cans (tomato, cream of asparagus, cream of mushroom etc) to go.
