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.

Simmer an hour and fifteen minutes before adding corn and peas. I have the original 70's newspaper article.

This recipe was in the Chicago Tribune in the early 1970s. I love this stew - it is great! I lost the clipping and have been searching for this recipe ever since. Thanks so much!!
