I do not prepare soups very often, since I live in a tropical climate. However, when I do prepare a soup, it’s the cream of chicken soup that has been on my menu once in every two weeks. I always have chicken breasts in my shopping cart for easy quick meals and this recipe has been very simple, very delicious with a creamy texture which is satisfying. It’s light and flavorful. As I keep discovering more soup recipes stay tuned.
