Perfect timing! We're enjoying our first snowfall of the season and what better to come home to (Carly was playing in the snow) than a mug of hot chicken soup. I first poached my chicken in the stock then proceeded with your directions. This is rich, creamy, and going into my permanent files. TFS, made for the Beverage Tag cooking game.

I am the mother of two beautiful boys. I love to bake and cook which has helped me to become very overweight.
I have lost 50 pounds this past year and have been learning to cook "lighter". We still enjoy many of the same dishes we used to. However, I have learned portion control and how to make suttle changes to my recipes that don't affect the flavor.
