Reading this thread made me add items to my list. I love one pot meals and am really a fan of using condensed soups. I know some can't,and some turn up their nose ...I think they are delicious in casseroles and stews.

birkin, simmer sauces are a great substitute for condensed soups!

For those of you who need less salt I found this recipe for the onion soup mix.

That is such a great tip, BaileyBop...thank you!

HonnyBrown, would you mind telling me what 'simmer sauces' are?

TIA

Haven't tried this yet, but it reminds me of an old Peg Bracken recipe from her "I Hate to Cook" book (circa 1970's) called Stay in Bed Stew. I don't have the recipe in front of me, but it consisted of layers of sliced onions, sliced carrots, sliced potatoes (maybe some celery, too), stew meat and cream of whatever soup (which, BTW, one can purchase in low sodium format now) in a casserole dish which is then covered and put in the oven at 275 for 6 hours or so. This was before everyone had crockpots - maybe before anyone had crockpots - but I loved it.

Bailey, thank you!

Respect, a simmer sauce is a cooking sauce. Most markets, including BJ's, carry them.

This may be a silly question, but where do you buy campbell's chicken mushroom soup? I don't think I've ever seen it before.

Now that most of my family are gone, I want to keep the recipes in circulation. What better way to do than here! My plea

sure to share dear lady.

colliegirls.....Hi again dear lady. YAY!! I love it when ppl like it! TY dear lady for letting me know!

ceh.....this is an old recipe, and to be honest I dont know if they even still make it. I will generally use mushroom or cream of chicken...or even mix the two together. Hope this helps!

That Trader Joe's Masala simmer sauce is one of my favorite things. I put it over steamed (ziploc steam microwave bags)cauliflower,or tofu,or chicken...or steamed cauliflower and chicken. I use canned Costco chicken a lot for a quick meal. I add frozen green peas at the end. I never dilute this (ignore directions!) I can even eat this cold...so good.

Cream of Chicken Mushroom is usually near the Cream of Mushroom soup cans in the grocery store. I use it in many casserole recipes.
