Absolutely! While Progresso's Chicken & Homestyle Noodle Soup can be enjoyed on its own, here are some recipe ideas to turn it into a more substantial and flavorful meal:
Hearty Chicken Pot Pie:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Stir in the Progresso soup, cooked chicken (shredded or diced), and additional seasonings like thyme, rosemary, or a pinch of poultry seasoning.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
- Prepare a simple biscuit crust: Combine 1 cup self-rising flour with 1/2 cup cold milk and 1/4 cup melted butter. Cut into squares and arrange over the filling.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Chicken Noodle Stir-Fry:
- Cook thin strips of chicken breast or thigh in a hot pan with sesame oil.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Progresso soup, a splash of soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch.
- Pour the sauce into the pan with chicken and vegetables, simmering until thickened.
- Serve over cooked rice or noodles.
Chicken and Rice Soup with Greens:

Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup:

- Combine the pureed soup with the remaining soup in a pot.
- Stir in cooked wild rice, shredded chicken, and frozen mixed vegetables.
- Heat through until warmed and serve with a dollop of sour cream.
Additional Tips:
