very bland as written. i doubled the amount of chicken (used vegetarian substitute), increased broth to 2 cups, cream to 1 cup, mixed cold cream with 3 Tbs corn starch, increased salt to 3 tsp, thought the butter unnecessary, added 1 Tbs dill, 1 cup instant brown rice, 2 big diced mushrooms, 3 cloves garlic, and 3 stalks celery. still a very mild soup that would go well with a fresh, not-too-sweet bread and butter. nice spring/summer soup to have with white wine or a mojito
