With boxed soups, it’s easy to whip up a wholesome meal that makes you proud to wear an apron. I recently experimented with some of the new varieties to come up with some fresh answers to the dreaded question of “What’s for dinner?” beyond tuna noodle casserole. I’m happy to include these in my repertoire of handy quick-fixes.
Many casseroles are loaded with canned soup. With a big flavor boost from a boxed soup, this casserole is easier and tastier than ever. One rotisserie chicken will yield about 4 cups of meat. -- Rebecca Lang
