Tuna Bake

You can use any concentrated creamed soup for this recipe.  Asparagas, celery or mushroom would work well.  Chopped carrot can be added to the pasta or rice as it is boiling - raw vegies must be cooked as all you are doing is heating the mixture in the oven until the chip topping is slightly browned.
