I often wonder if it was a phenomenon of that generation.  I know my mom 
used cream of mushroom, cream of celery, cream of chicken and chicken 
gumbo soups as the basis for a number of dishes ranging from chicken and 
rice to her own version of sloppy joes which we either ate on buns or 
over rice.  I still occasionally get a "hankering" for one of these 
dishes and make it just 'cause!  I guess that would make them fall into 
that "comfort foods" category.
