CHURCH

St. Johns Episcopal
Honeoye Falls, New York
tis the season
Annual meeting, pot luck 
more desserts came in
Ok, I had some sort of major brain fart and doubled this. This is only about a half of it .I told the people there to take some of this home - no one did, It's a Yankee thing. So, I gave a very large tupperware bowl of it to the non verbal contractor, and there is still A LOT of it left in the refrigerator. As I posted on the facebook, unless you are feeding like 300 8th grade boys, do not double this.

seriously? I slaved for days over that recipe in the Craig Claiborne book. First the chicken, then the broth, then the tomato sauce, then the cream sauce ... then throw them all in together where you can't tell how good they were individually.

But it was worth it not to use CANNED SOUP.
