Chicken Pillows
I actually keep very little “cream of something” soups in my house, but this recipe has kept me buying at least a few every year. This is Karen’s recipe, of course I made just a few changes, but my food storage efforts haven’t altered the taste.
Thanks Karen for another go to meal!

After a year and a half of trial & error and trial & error, followed by error & error & error, I finally gave it up and decided that homemade yogurt was neither simple, economical or healthy. On all accounts I was wrong! At a food storage class I attended, I tasted Katie’s yogurt and almost fell off my chair! It tasted great, was thick and creamy, and her ingredients totaled about $.60 a quart! Luckily, Katie shared her recipe and technique, and now I will share it with you.
