A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

While I agree that there could be more flavor, I didn't really find this to be too bland. I used a good wine which probably helped and added ample salt and pepper. Maybe instead of wine use a good chicken stock and some sherry.
very bland not alot of flavors. not bad just dissapointing.
