It’s a guest post from my sister, Jess Hudgins, about a card from our dead mom’s recipe box. Our mother’s side of the family had a lot of pride in being Hungarian. This recipe is probably from Woman’s Day. CHICKEN PAPRIKASH Free time while dinner cooks: 35-40 min Top each serving with a generous spoonful of sour cream or plain yogurt.

Since this is from an area of the box that is mostly soups recipe, I imagine the divider label once said “soups.” MUSHROOM SOUP (Specialty of The Breakers) Full of flavor and so easy…
