Cream of Mushroom Sounds Poisonous

I found this recipe on the Campbell's soup website. It has a section on the site devoted to easy, cheap recipes, so I decided to take a peek. Campbell's definition of simple is pretty far-reaching, and some of the recipes were complicated. I did find one for chicken and broccoli Alfredo that I decided to try. Although I was a little put-off by having to buy Campbell's Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup, it was definitely worth it. Also, I really like the fact that Campbell's puts the price of the recipe, and the total cost of the actual meal. I mentioned my last post that I do not like "cheap" recipes that do not include the cost of buying the ingredients as they are sold in stores. So, without further delay, here is the recipe!
