I made the recipe as stated, and it was very bland. As per the other reviews, you must add spices to it.

I read the reviews and used the suggestions about adding garlic, thyme, oregano, and basil but then added a couple of dashes of white pepper and served with buttered noodles - this is a no leftover meal

I followed the 3/22 reviewers additions - I think that without the added spices the dish would have been a bit bland.

I used fresh asparagus and cooked shrimp. I cooked it on the stove rather than the oven and omitted the margarine. It was pretty good but nothing special.

I used fresh asparagus, cooked for about 5 minutes. I used cooked shrimp. Cream of mushroom soup. Olive oil rather than butter. Closer to 1.5 teaspoons of soy sauce. I ommited the crutons. I added garlic, thyme, oregano, and basil. Since the asparagus was partially cooked, and the shrimp was cooked as well, I baked at 350, just until it was warm, 15 min. maybe. I ate this plain, the hubby had it over noodles. Either way, we both loved it. I think this would be equally delish with chicken instead of shrimp. Repeat recipe here.

A good, solid recipe - handy for last minute dinners. I used some of the suggestions in other reviews and added some garlic, parsley, and thyme. Fresh asparagus and fresh mushrooms both had a good texture. I used precooked shrimp because I needed to use it up, and it worked surprisingly well. For those who think it is a bit bland, play with some spices to give it your kind of kick.

Used cream of mushroom that I had on hand, and threw in some spices--little bit of garlic, parsley, oregano, thyme, and a bare dash of cinnamon. Used fresh asparagus and basmati rice. The nuttiness of the basmati paired with the dish really well, and with the spice additions and the cream of mushroom, none of us found this bland at all. No leftovers, and my husband wants to add this to our rotation.

Not enough flavour and the thought of it as left overs was gross.

Added: garlic and black pepper to the mixture before cooking. Other than that a great recipe idea! Thanks so much!

Really salty and mushy my first time, but I think it has potential. I used fresh asparagus and added mushrooms, but it needed a starch or something to cut the salt of the condensed soup and soy sauce. I served it with fresh bread, but maybe next time I'll mix in rice...
