Very tasty and easy to make. I substituted mixed veggies (corn, green beans, and carrots for the celery and onions and ready made pie crust for the top just to save time. Will definitely make again!

Very easy to make,but, It was a little dry, this is a serve once done meal. I left it set for a while and the cornmeal absorbed the liquid. I Will add a little extra broth next time I also changed the soup to potato and I added peas and carrots to the mix.. All-in-all, will try again.
