low fat chicken alfredo style soup

[DAUN]

I am unable to locate this ingredient, and several others needed for the recipes in the 15 min cooking light cookbook. Does anyone have any ideas?

[Chef Cindy]

Good morning Daun, what ingredients are you having trouble finding?

[valchemist]

Chef Cindy and Missi,

The recipe in question is called Chicken Alfredo Pasta and the ingredient that DUAN can't find is Chicken Alfredo Style Soup. I think you were both a bit confused, as I was, until I looked up the recipe.

Here it is...

Chicken Alfredo Pasta

5 1/2 ounces Rotini, uncooked (2 cups)
1 10-ounce package mixed frozen vegetables
1 9-ounce package frozen cooked diced chicken breast
1 15-ounce can low-fat chicken alfredo style soup
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Cook pasta and vegetables together in boiling water in a dutch oven for 10 minutes.

Drain pasta and vegetables; return to dutch oven. Add chicken and next three ingredients to pasta mixture, stirring well.

Cook over low heat for 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with pepper.

You may want to try healthy choice soup for this ingredient (15-ounce can low-fat chicken alfredo style soup).

[Chef Cindy]

valchemist, you are right I did
misunderstand. It seemed like something wasn't clicking when I read the message. Thanks for clearing that up for me,

[Missi]

Can someone post this recipe? It sounds GREAT!

[DAUN]

HEALTHY CHOICE DOES NOT HAVE ANY ALFREDO SOUPS. THEY HAVE ALFREDO SAUCES---IS THAT WHAT THE RECIPE IS CALLING FOR?

DAUN,

Healthy Choice did make an alfredo soup a couple of years ago. They also made a very good corn soup, which I cannot find any more. I think the ingredient that you are looking for is a can soup.

Hope you find it.

I guess that is the problem with cookbooks that rely heavily on pre-packaged or prepared ingredients. If those items are discontinued, you are out of luck. Sometimes you can find a substitute. But in this particular cookbook, since there are so few ingredients in each recipe to begin with, the pre-packaged item is an essential component. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/frown.gif
