@Charhug, I have a question.  You say to use 1.5 ounces of cream of chicken soup.  That would be about 3 tablespoons.  I'm wondering if that's correct, or if you meant 15 ounces. Here, I can't get 1.5 ounce cans...if that's correct, maybe sour cream or yogurt could be substituted? The consistency would be the similar, but the flavor would change a bit.

 

Thanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the 1.5 ounce can is a typo . . . shouldn't it be one 10.5 ounce can of cream of chicken soup?  

 

The recipe is so easy and sounds delicious! Thanks for posting, @Charhug

Re: Chicken and Dumpling Casserole

Hmmm... I may have to give this a whirl. I love chicken and dumplings.

 

Better Than Boullion is my favorite base and the only one I use when I make chicken soup.
