Notes

Ratings:
E: 5
T: 5
I: 4 because chicken broth, although it's not very much. Better to be scheduled when we have chicken broth to use up, not schedule such that we have to open a chicken broth container for a measly half cup of broth.
T: 4 to 5.

NOT A WHOLE MEAL BY ITSELF. NEEDS PAIRED WITH TASTY MEAT OR THE LIKE.
