(from Loony Spoons Cookbook)

• 1 cup chopped onions
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cup peeled, cubed potatoes
• 1 1/2 cup chopped carrots
• 1/2 cup corn, green beans (optional)
• 1 can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 1/2 tbsp flour
• 2 cups chopped, cooked chicken breast
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 tsp basil
• 1/2 tsp thyme
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Biscuit Topping:

• 2 cups flour
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp sage
• 1/4 tsp sald
• 2 tbsp margarine or butter
• 1.3 cup milk

Sauté onions and garlic over medium hear until tender. Add broth, potatoes, carrots, beans, corn and bring to a boil. Reduce hear to medium/low, partially cover and simmer for 12 min. Potatoes should be slightly under cooked. Remove from hear.
In small bowl stir together mushroom soup, flour and spices. Add to vegetables (usually I have to drain off some of the broth from the vegetables before stirring in the soup mix). Stir wll. Pour into a medium casserole dish.
Prepare biscuit crust: combine dry ingredients, and add butter using a pastry blender. Blend until crumbly. Stir in milk, forming a ball. Add a bit more flour if dough is too sticky. Roll out on floured surface to fit over top of casserole. Place dough over top of casserole. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes, til crust is golden. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving.
