"A hearty soup to chase away the chill in your bones this winter. You don't have to use the Low fat, less sodium chicken broth. You can use the full fat version too but I am trying to eat a little healthier this year! From Cooking Light Magazine"

In the deep freeze of 2003, this soup was just so hearty and warming, that it actually made you glad it was so cold outside, so you could stay inside and enjoy this soup and wonderful aroma that goes with it.
