Cream of Something-ish Soup Mix

This recipe I adapted from a campbell’s soup recipe. As I have posted before, we have no campbell’s soups here, so I had to create my own cream of something-ish soup mix. And this recipe is a prime example of how you adapt to cooking in different environments!

Also this is another prime example of a picture fail!
I couldn’t get a good picture of this to save my life, mainly because I was tired and it was late when we all finally sat down to eat.

Here is the dish after I added the gravy to it.
