CHICKEN SOUP IMPERIAL
A quickly-made main dish soup, Chickan Soup Imperial, adds Ori­

Incredible eggs
Sometimes described as the com­
plete food in a perfect package, eggs
are the salvation o f m any cooks
when unexpected company arrives,
or when the lard er is low and the
budget is straining.
T a k e a h alf-d o zen eggs— and
some delicious entrees or side dishes
are possible. Eggs a re n ’ t only for
b re ak fa st. They also are an ideal
quick luncheon choice and fillin g
enough for dinner.
T o further enhance the highly edi­
ble egg, there is condensed soup to
use as an ingredient, a cooking liq ­
uid or a piquant sauce. When extra
servings are a concern, soup helps to
increase the volume o f food being
prepared. T h a t’ s easy on the bud­
get. And since canned soup usually
is on the shelf— th a t’s easy on the
cook.
One o f the most impressive egg
dishes, undoubtedly, is the souffle.
N o w , there is the rolled s o u f f l e -
less intim idating for a novice cook
to prepare, guaranteed not to
“ f a ll,” and even able to be reheat­
ed. Rolled Souffle Escarole is a six-
serving entree made w ith the same
number o f eggs, condensed cream
o f mushroom soup and a filling o f
chopped escarole and cottage
cheese.
A fter the souffle is baked on a jel­
ly roll pan and is removed to a cook­
ie sheet, it is spread with the filling,
then rolled jelly roll fashion and re­
turned to the oven for five minutes.
G olden Egg Fu Yo n g , another
six-eggs-dish, may be served as an
entree or side dish and is prepared
on top o f the stove. The eggs are
com bined w ith condensed golden
mushroom soup, sliced celery and
green onions, bean sprouts and sea­
sonings that include teriyaki sauce.
The mixture is spooned onto a hot
g rid d le or skillet and then served
with a sauce that has the remaining
soup as a base.
Six sliced hard-cooked eggs are
layered in Sumptuous Salad— a de­
lig h tfu l d ep arture fro m the usual
egg salad. This is a chilled loaf that
begins w ith sliced m ushrooms
browned in butter with garlic. A dd­
ed to the sauteed mushrooms are
condensed cream o f shrim p soup,
cooked noodles, m ayonnaise,
chopped onion and pim iento and a
dash o f hot pepper sauce. The noo­
dle mixture and eggs are layered into
a lo a f pan, chilled fo r at least six
hours and served garnished w ith
chopped parsley.
Decidedly d iffe re n t, these three
new recipes prove once again that
the incredible egg is one o f the most
useful o f staple food products.
