SPINACH PANTRY SOUFFLE

Spinach Pantry Souffle image

We have always loved soufflés, but I got tired of making the white sauce for them. One day I substituted condensed soup for the white sauce, and we all thought it was great. When we started watching our fat intake, I switched to the reduced-fat, reduced-sodium soup, reduced-fat cheese and just two egg yolks. -Diane Conrad, North Bend, Oregon
