Questions & Replies

would cream of chicken work as a substitute for the chicken broth? I am aware that they are not the same texture, but i am still curious to if it would work or not.

Very nice and so simple! I added celery with the onion. Used whole milk. Sprinkled with parsley. Next time I hope I have some chicken ready. I really want to use my homemade broth next time. A definite keeper with my go to recipes. Thank you for posting!

Very quick and easy but most important of all delicious. That's about all I look for in a recipe and this had it all. All of the family enjoyed it and decided after the first bite to keep the recipe. ;) We had ours with english muffins which really went great with it. Thanks for a great soup. Kindcook
