Serves 6 

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of potato soup, undiluted

Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma had a busy schedule, so she always kept canned foods, such as tuna, salmon, chicken and creamed soup, on hand. Those ingredients, along with frozen vegetables and refrigerated crescent roll dough, added up to a quick, welcome dinner.
