Have made this 3-4 times since my last post in April 2012. Easy to fix. YUM!

This is my idea of comfort food. Loved it! Will make again.

Simple, easy and delicious! My 7y.o. daughter wants to start learning to cook, so she decided to make this for the family. She was so proud :) It's nice to have recipes that are simple but still delicious and healthy. We modified the recipe by using Healthy Request soups in attempts to bring the sodium and fat down.

Very tasty! I liked it just the way it was (followed exact directions) but my husband thought it was bland. But then again, he puts Tabasco on vitrually everything LOL! To luvmy2cats--I used 4 cans total but in most "cream" soup recipes you can substitute if you don't have a certain soup. For example I could've made this with 2 cans of cream of chicken and 2 cans of cream of mushroom if I didn't have the cream of celery...hope this helps :)

This was okay but quite bland. If I made it again, I would add garlic, green peppers, tomatoes and spices to add more flavour.

Would like to make this but MrsKase, when you say 2 cans of cream of celery soup instead of cream of chicken soup, does that mean just two cans altogether for this recipe?

Talk about comfort food. This was great. Although I was short a can of cream of celery so I put in a can of cream of potato in its place.

Regarding using 4 cans of soup..Well, I think the recipe states to use 2 cans of cream of chicken soup and 2 cans of cream of celery,,this does equal 4 cans..Seems like a lot to me???

I haven't made this recipe yet. Would like to but I am confused. Do you use 4 cans of soup to make this?

Tasty comfort food...loved it.

As with *all* tasteofhome recipes, this deserves a higher rating than 5. Making again tonight. Delicious.

I rated this recipe a few hours ago. I said it was good & easy but nothing special. My 20 year old daughter came home and tried it, said she thought it was very good and would eat it again.

should have read, 2 cans of cream of celery soup instead of cream of chicken soup. Sorry

I cut in half for one meal only; i used 2 cans of cream of celery soup and cream of chicken(it was what I had already in cupboard) and frozen mixed vegetables. Very Good!

Very easy and tasty. Even my picky kids asked for seconds. Would make this again.

We loved this! i did cut the recipe in half, because we are a smaller family. It fed all 4 of us and we had enough for leftovers. Made a ton. Will make again, and share with others.

Very good! I just made one big casserole that my family ate off of for a couple of days, perfect for lunches. This is definitely a keeper!

Loved this! I sauté the chicken prior with some seasoning and used frozen broccoli though. I will definatley be making this often. It was so easy and quick!

Reviewed on Sep. 08, 2010 by Jessica2783

I found this to be very "soupy"- a really wet consistency. Great flavour though.

Reviewed on Aug. 26, 2010 by minnie

Yum, Yum, Yum, I used steamed fresh carrots and broccoli in place of the frozen ones. I'm going to try putting a pie crust on top next time. I will be making this often.

Easy to make and simply delicious for when you're in the mood for comfort food. I did it with cream of celery and cream of chicken with mushroom soup. I also sauted the chicken (adding a bit of seasonings to the chicken at this point), onion and vegetables in a bit of oil before adding the soup and milk and butter to the pot, then mixed in the noodles and put it all in the oven. No bowl required! Yummy.

I used Campbell's Cream of Chicken with Herbs and it was delicious!

I made one casserole for my family and one for a friend. Everyone liked it. My husband doesn't like peas, so I used California blend veggies and added mushrooms to my family's. Great for when you have leftover chicken, also.

We made this into a chicken pot pie...we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it...all we did was eliminate the noodles and substitue with crescent rolls. Used one can to line a 9x13 dish (sprayed with butter spray) and poured in the filling and topped with another can of the crescent rolls....yummy!

My whole family LOVED this recipe! The only thing I did different was used cream of celery instead of cream of chicken because I didn't have any cream of chicken on hand.

YUMMY!
