Surprisingly Bland
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Rachel's recipes are usually great and quite easy to prepare. This one is easy to prepare but the end results are rather... flavorless. I even added a whole container of sour cream. Will probably douse the leftovers with plenty of hot sauce to give it some kind of oomph. I think this is the first RR recipe I've tried that I won't be making again. Read more

Pretty Good
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I followed it almost exactly. Pretty boring. But super easy and fast and unoffensive. My husband liked it a lot.

A couple quick changes
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I doubled all the spices. I substituted 1C skim milk for the sour cream and 1C fat-free cream of chicken soup for the broth.... The combo was equal to the consistency of sour crm and broth. It turned out to be delicious. Hearty and heart healthy!Read more

Just needs a little tweaking
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We add in sliced mushrooms along with the red pepper, and reduce the broth by half to keep it from needing so much simmering.... I think that's what waters it down otherwise. Husbands LOVES this recipe, and leftovers taste even better the next day!Read more

Great Dish!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't follow the recipe exactly (I never do) I added fresh spinach to the vegetables. The result was delicious, and the... sauce created with the sour cream and chicken stock reminded me of my FMIL's beef stroganof sauce. The kids loved it, and I had to fight myself to not go eat seconds. Read more
