I have been sick and made this soup for my lunch the other day. It was not only easy but so good, very close to homemade in less time. I used Tyson's canned white meat chicken, matchstick carrots and 1 1/2 stalks of celery. Added some lemon pepper along with the salt and pepper and enjoyed! Will be making this again! Made and reviewed for the Iron Chef tag game.

I am a 39 year old, single woman. I work as a full time cashier at a Wal Mart super center. I absolutely love my job most of the time. When I am not working I have a flock of 9 parrots, 7 Budgies and 2 cockatiels that keep me on my toes. I also love to read and cook.
