Ingredients

YOU WILL NEED SOME HEAVY DUTY ALUMINUM FOIL
CREAM OF POTATO SOUP IS THE KEY HERE BUT YOU CAN YOU ANY CREAM SOUP,
1 can(s) large can of cream of potato soup
1 pkg polish kielbasa slice 1/4 inch thick
2 small yellow summer squash slice and diced
2 small zucchini sliced and diced
1 small onion sliced and diced
1 small green pepper sliced and diced
3 large baking potatoes peeled and diced
2 small celery stalks sliced and diced
1 large tomatoes sliced and diced
black pepper,salt, italian seasoning,basil,thyme,
2 clove garlic diced
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce

Steps:

1. DICE EVERYTHING UP EXCEPT THE KIELBASA. THIS YOU WILL NEED TO SLICE INTO 1/4 INCH THICK PIECES. YOU CAN USE ANY MEAT. MY OTHER GO TO MEAT SOURCE IS CHICKEN BREAST. OR ITALIAN SAUSAGE SLICE JUST LIKE THE KIELBASA. JUST PARTIALLY COOK,COOL AND SLICE. (DO NOT OVER COOK THE SAUSAGE AS IT WILL FINISH COOKING WITH THE VEGGIES)
2. IN A LARGE MIXING BOWL COMBINE ALL THE VEGGIES AND MEAT. (WANT IT VEGETARIAN? SKIP THE MEAT AND SLICE THE SQUASH INTO 1/4 INCH THICK SLICES.)
3. NOW MIX HALF THE SOUP OVER EVERYTHING IN THE BOWL. (SAVE THE OTHER HAVE OF THE SOUP) DO NOT ADD WATER TO THE SOUP. THE VEGGIES WILL ADD ENOUGH LIQUID WHEN COOKING.
4. NOW DEPENDING IF YOU ARE FEEDING FOUR PERSONS OR SIX YOU WILL CUT TWO SQUARES OF FOIL FOR EACH PERSON. YOU WANT THEM LARGE ENOUGH TO FOLD OVER AND MAKE A PILLOW. ABOUT 8 INCHES LONG WORKS WELL.
5. TAKE ONE SQUARE AND SPRAY IT WITH NONE STICK SPRAY. IN CENTER OF FOIL PLACE A LARGE LADLE FULL OF THE VEGGIE MEAT MIXTURE. NOW SPOON TWO TABLESPOONS OF THE REMAINING SOUP OVER THIS.
6. TAKE THE OPPOSITE CORNERS UP TOGETHER IN THE MIDDLE ABOVE THE VEGGIES. FOLD DOWN BUT NOT TO TIGHT. YOU WILL NEED TO LEAVE A LITTLE SPACE FOR HEAT EXPANSION. FOLLOW WITH THE OPPOSITE CORNERS TILL YOU HAVE A SMALL PILLOW. WITH SECOND SQUARE OF FOIL. TAKE THE PILLOW AND PLACE IN CENTER FOLD SIDE DOWN ON SECOND SHEET. THIS TIME TAKE THE EDGES AND BRING TOGETHER FOLD DOWN AGAIN NOT TO TIGHT BUT YOU WANT IT TO SEAL. REPEAT WITH OTHER SIDE THEN PLACE FOLD SIDE DOWN ON COOKIE SHEET.
7. REPEAT THE PROCESS TILL YOU HAVE THE NEEDED PORTIONS TO FEED YOUR FAMILY. PLACE COOKIE SHEET. BAKE IN OVEN AT 350 FOR 30 MINUTES. YOU CAN DO THIS ON THE GRILL AS WELL JUST MAKE SURE THE COAL OR FIRE IS NOT TOO HOT AND ADD 5 TO 10 MINUTES. REMOVE AND LET STAND FOR 5 MINUTES. PLACE ON PLATES AND SERVE OUT OF FOIL OR REMOVE FOIL AND SERVE.
8. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CONTENTS OF PILLOW IS EXTREMELY HOT. OPEN AWAY FROM FACE AND DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPEN THEIR OWN. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
