Recipe: Chicken Stroganoff

This quick and easy recipe for Chicken Stroganoff is a pleasant change on the more traditional Beef Stroganoff. I don’t use Campbell’s soups often in cooking, but every once in a while … they’re good for quick comfort foods like this.

The recipe does come from the folks at Campbell’s… I did tweak it a bit. I thought the original recipe was a bit too bland… so I added a bit of garlic powder. I also made more sauce… and used more mushrooms… I also use shallots instead of onion.

TIPS

I would not add salt until the end… the soup does have salt in it, so you do want to be sure not to add too much.

You can use the regular or the 98% lower fat variety of soup.. I used the lower fat version and don’t think it made any difference in the taste or texture.

I do use real sour cream.. if you want to substitute lower fat or fat free sour cream … you certainly can.. but I do think it does change the taste considerably.

I hope you enjoy this easy weeknight meal.
