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.

This curried chicken stew makes a great meal for a cozy weeknight dinner. It is flavorful, creamy and comforting. It deviates a little from authentic versions by using cream soup for added convenience.

Not sure why the person disliked this recipe so much unless they had unreasonable expectations of what it was supposed to taste like. It's curried, not necessarily curry. It's's a curried chicken stew just like the name says. Only change I made was to omit the carrots as I forgot to buy them. It's good and filling. Might try it with cream of mushroom as that soup has more flavor in my opinion.

I enjoy a good curry but this is by far the single worst curry I've ever had. In my 30 years of cooking I've rarely thrown a dish in the garbage but this has been one of the very few I couldn't imagine eating again. I usually don't leave bad comments but this recipe was truly awful. A big part of that was it being way too creamy with the soup and the half and half. And I generally love creamy. After cooking it exactly as the recipe showed, I then tried a few things to even things out but it was just a lost cause.

I skipped the potatoes and only used 1/2 cup water since it wasn't going to need as much to cook the potatoes. Didn't add the sugar as it really didn't seem to warrant it.
