Chicken Soup and Chicken TOT pie

[Catscankim]

Something I can speak with authority on LOL.

I have made chicken soup since forever. But this isn't about my chicken soup. I make a pretty awesome chicken soup. There is nothing too special about it, other than everybody loves it.

Last year I found a Rachael Ray recipe for Chicken Tot Pie. Chicken...TOT...Pie. This isn't my usual chicken soup, but it started out that way. I started with my regular soup...plopped a whole chicken in the pot with all my goodies. Followed the recipe from there...added extra goodies (mushrooms and broccoli). Topped it with tator tots and baked.

OH MY GOD. I have made this like 6 or 8 times since then.

Go look up the recipe now!! Right now. It is the most amazing dish, so simple and super yummy. Never mind. Here is the link...

I still haven't had a chance to try this recipe. I will though. I have to read through ingredients carefully since a lot of tater tots seem to have soy in them at levels that can trigger my migraines.

My coworker used to make a similar recipe at work and called it tater tot casserole. The super specific measurements I remember: brown a bunch of ground beef, add a bag of tots, add veggies, mix in extra cheese. The bake it all till the tots were done. I used to make a version where I added scrambled eggs to make it a breakfast casserole (we had to feed 5 clients and up to 4 staff at that site, big casseroles were always a hit)
