Very easy to make and delicious. I added fresh garlic and s&p. Also added a few boiled shrimp--complemented nicely. Will definitely make this again.

This soup is OUTSTANDING!!! It is very easy to make. I have made this 3 times now. Even though I reduced the flour by half the second time, the leftovers were too thick when reheated. This last time I used only one heaping tablespoon and it was perfect for our taste. I also add salt, pepper, and fresh chopped parsley.

I found this in the coupons as well and I made it. It is good although I added a little salt and pepper along with some fresh garlic and chopped a little celery. LOL it looks like I did alot but if you dont add at least a little pepper and salt to tast it will lack flavor. My family loved it and ate it all and requested I make more! and considering how easy it was I will!
