- 1 large onion, diced
- 1-3 small cans of mushrooms

- 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
- 7 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 3 cubes chicken bouillon
Add to liquid mixture:
- Dried chunks of bread (1 loaf French bread and 1 loaf sourdough) or 3 8-ounce bags of unseasoned croutons
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sage
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
