I think the cream of chicken soup was mixed with veggies (I only used peas) and baked as a casserole...but the next time I made it I figured the "baked" part just meant I had to wash the casserole dish so I just stirred it all up in the pot and found it to be just as tasty. I can't remember what possessed me to put in mayo but it didn't taste as bad as you'd think...with the KD, not the ramen noodles :) Garlic powder...I'll have to try that one. I've also heard of mixing in tuna (maybe that's where I got the mayo idea), but I won't be trying that. Wow, I just might have to add KD to my grocery list next week.
