  1. This recipe was from the October/November issue of Taste of Home magazine. This was probably one of the best soups I have ever made. I loved everything about it. The extra subtle kick from the pepper and hot sauce was perfect. I added one drained can of whole kernel corn. Delicious!
     
  2. 1/2 tsp. of Tabasco is way too much! Would start with a few drops next time. Yummy soup, though, just too hot peppery.
     
  3. Loved the ease and flavor of this soup! I only had 1 lb chicken breast (raw) on hand, which wasn't enough... Would use 2.5-3 lbs next time. I will also double the mushrooms called for since I like my soups a little heartier. I ended up straining some of the liquid out, which I will freeze a bc use again for another soup. Will definitely make again!
     
  4. This was a spontaneous soup so I didn't have all of the ingredients. Followed fairly closely to the recipe but with a few changes - 2% milk and dried mushrooms, since that's what I had. Topped with Gruyere and served with a sourdough baguette, *thumbs up*! I also added more tarragon because I love it. I will be trying this recipe as is in the future.
     
  5. Second time I have made it. First time I used really good homemade stock and it was superb! Great meal for a cold winter night.
