Delicious soup. I made a few changes I used 2 cups of water with 5 chicken bouillon cubes and 1/2 cup whipping cream and 1/2 cup milk, didn't use the cabbage and I added 3 1/2 Tbs. of flour to make it cream up. I used this recipe with Recipe #173866. We had one delicious dinner! Thanks for sharing this recipe.Reply
