I made this using your basic idea, only using cream of chicken soup, oliveoil/butter, celery, and lots of garlic powder. Poured over baked seasoned chicked wings. And topped with a white cheese! Baked till golden brown. ( wish I had added mushrooms) The family loved it. Thanks for the idea. Love this site!
