As a responsible mother, I try not to use the short-cut too many times. Using canned foodstuff is punishable by alcohol poisoning in my books but once in a while, I go with it because I need to keep some of my hair from falling because I am all stressed out!
But on Friday, my kids were in school and I was hungry after Body Pump (you get hungry A LOT when you exercise) but I didn't want to chow down on yet another meal (I ate beef pie in the morning after gym session) so I grabbed one of the cans and said to myself, 'A can of creamy chicken mushroom soup is not going to kill me and it won't add much more to the cellulite on my thighs. Go with it lah!'
The good thing is that it is fantastically convenient and yummy when you add other stuff with it or eat it with pasta (which I swear, I didn't!!). I prefer soups thick but it would be too salty if I drank/ate it thick so in went a lot of water.
There were a few pieces of chicken (I think) in there but...alas, where is the mushroom? It says there got mushroom but I don't see or taste any. Anyway, I thought it was OK....maybe it dissolved into the creamy soup or maybe it was disguising itself as one of the clumps that I didn't manage to dissolve from the soup.
Overall, I like it. It makes a simple meal and is flexible enough. Most importantly, it doesn't put as many calories into your body like a lasagna (oh boy....) will and it is most definitely cheaper too.
