Bring a bit of the Southwest to your table with this spirit-warming soup. Loaded with tender chicken, diced tomatoes and plenty of seasonings, it's sure to be requested again and again.
I've always loved the taste of a good stroganoff, but I hated the expense and preparation of beef tips or steak or roast beef to make it. So I created my own creamy stroganoff.
I found this recipe in a rural newspaper years ago and have made it often. The bean bundles are excellent with chicken or beef. Sometimes I'll arrange them around a mound of wild rice to make an appetizing side dish.

Beginning with my Fast Chicken Soup Base it is easy to knock hours off of the cooking time usually needed for homemade chicken soup and still end up with soup that tastes even better than the 'from scratch' method.

This is a great salad for the summer heat. It is light and very quick to make. And even my kids like it. Serve with French bread for a great combination.
