Mother in law got this from the Quacker Factory...she says to always double this recipe! She also mentioned that if you leave it on the heat after cooking, the cheese sauce in the bottom gets gummy. Since I am constantly making my homemade cheese sauce, my thought is to remove from the heat as soon as it is done, and then rewarm as necessary in the microwave!

    Note: my mother in law doubles this recipe, omits the soy sauce, and says everyone eats it up!

    My daughter eats vegetarian, so for her I would use vegetable broth, and vegetarian meat substitute for the chicken.
