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.

I doubled the recipe for our church's Souper Sunday, leaving out the wine (didn't have it on hand)and added more garlic and got rave reviews! The only mistake in the recipe was not telling you when to add the broth. . .

This soup turned out great! I didn't have any red wine in the house so I omitted that and used chicken broth instead of beef broth. Delicious - thank you!
