This was very good. It really hit the spot. I added about 3/4 cup of sour cream and no milk though. I will definatly be making this again-=)

This was a really good basic creamy chicken soup...I felt a cold coming on and wanted something nice and hot. This soup fit the bill. It is very basic, but very satisfying. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
