This is my favorite comfort food recipe of all time.  Yes, me, who complains about cream of __________ soup all the time.  I have tried to recreate this by being fancy, but I just can’t do it.  This is creamy, ricey, dreamy.  I let myself have it once a year.  mmmmm.

Mix together and pour on top of 1 quart hot fruit.  Bake at 350 until done.  Makes thin crust.
