... MrS's basics 17p chicken soup makes a great alternative to a white sauce in a lasagne. Mmm!

Unless you're making chicken lasange, I suppose.

I must admit, I'm not brave enough to try that out for myself though!

That sounds quite nice actually! Shame I never go there. Have to try other brands, I guess!

A chicken dish at work was always really popular, then we found out how easy it was. Just bits of cooked chicken left over from the roast dinner mixed with chicken soup, added mushrooms, sometimes onion. Ate with creamy mashed potatoes.
Sounds a bit nasty but really tasted fab and moneysaving. (they used campbells condensed soup but i'm sure the Mr S one would be fine and cheaper)

Exactly. And I bet you could make the same quantity of white sauce for less than the cost of the can of soup.

Also, condensed soup is different from normal tinned soup, its much thicker and can be used as a sauce on its own. ( not by me as I loathe tinned soup, full stop )
