We really enjoyed this last night and tonight. I re-worked the recipe a little bit because it would have been too salty for us using the full 2 tablespoons of seasoning salt. I used chicken broth, leaving out the water and just sprinkling on seasoning salt (Johnny's Dock, our favorite), to our tastes, probably about 1 teaspoon. I think with the broth and the soup there is quite a bit of sodium in there already. I had boneless skinless chicken thighs, a partial bag of frozen mixed vegies that I needed to use up and added to the called-for vegies, and lots of coarse black pepper. My husband had just come home from a seminar in Las Vegas with an awful cold, and this was pure comfort food to him! It was for me, too! Made for PAC Spring 2009. I will make again. Easy and good!

For my family's taste this was way to salty, perhaps three tablespoons could have been three teaspoons. The next time I would also add more chicken.
