This recipe is from a little boxed set of Betty Crocker cookbooks. It is called Betty Crocker's Picture Cookbooks. It contains eight slim books. Each recipe has two or more photos of the preparation or finished dish. This recipe is from Soups and Stews.
It is a quick and easy recipe that is also frugal. I think if I made it I would probably add a diced potato.
