I'm not sure how to respond to this :)

a) Yes, those are the 4 ingredients.

b) You're not from around here. Are you?

When it's below zero and you're cold, when it's Friday and your work week sucked, then this is the comfort food you are looking for. It pairs well with both Mt. Dew and Pouilly Fuisse.

Sort of yes. Many people add cheese. It normally contains cream of something soup. It is absolutely delicious. I use a mixture of two soups.
