Chicken Cilantro Bisque
"A hearty soup that is perfect for lunch or dinner. I often make this soup for supper, accompanied by a salad and crusty bread. It's also a good recipe to use up extra chicken and the cilantro I always have left over from other recipes."

I had leftover chicken and cilantro from the Mexican Style Lime & Cilantro Whole Chicken (Slow Cooker) Recipe #271347 , so I figured it would be perfect to make this soup! It was very good, the only thing is I thought it had a bit too much of a flour taste so I think next time I will cut back to 1/4 cup instead of a 1/3 I think it will still thicken up just fine. Otherwise it was good and smelled awesome while cooking! Thanks!!

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
