When I was a brand new bride.....over 40 yrs ago now.....I picked up one of those paperback cookbooks that are near the cash register at the grocers. I think it was by campbell's soup company and it was called the mix and match cookbook or something like that.
It had a plethora of recipes that you could make, all including that household staple, canned soup. I have been making my quiche following this recipe for all of those years. I have, of course, made quiche without the soup but, honestly, it is not as tasty.
So the premise of this quiche is you take one can of cream soup, any flavor you wish. Meat of choice, vegetable of choice, cheese of choice, 4 eggs, light cream and a pie crust and you can have any flavor quiche you want, knowing that it will turn out perfectly.
I have shared this recipe before, waaaay back when this blog first started. So long ago, in fact, that the recipe maker I was using at the time is going to be obsolete soon. This means that I am making and sharing many old recipes so that my readers are still able to access them. You're welcome.

I remember making your ham and asparagus quiche for SRC. The "Cream of" soup is a nice twist!
ReplyDeleteWe've been blogging friends for a long time Karen.
DeleteI've never tried a quiche with a creamy soup - I can see that infusing extra flavor and moisture; I'm going to try that version soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blast from the past for SRC! That brings back memories. I think using soup for recipes is a great idea. Saves on the amount of cream. I'll have to keep this in mind as I occasionally have cans in the pantry.
ReplyDeleteI miss SRC too but I don't know where I would fit it in if it ever returned LOL
DeleteI would never have thought of using canned soup, I'll have to try this,it sounds delicious. I usually keep a couple cans of Cream of Mushroom soup around for another recipe I make.
ReplyDeleteI think you will enjoy this version Sid.
DeleteLove the idea of using canned soup. It adds to the flavor easily. This is a wonderful and scrumptious meal.
ReplyDeleteThank you Radha
