Yummy suggestion, but definitely more of a guideline than a recipe as it allows so much variation. Ours turned out well, kind of a "Creamy Italian Chicken and Pasta Soup" because of what we had on hand. I think this was the first time I used this method of thickening a cream soup. Usually I start with a roux. It was good to try this method, and probably I think it's a little quicker this way, but I think I prefer the results you would get starting with a roux.

I'm a 21 year old college student and I plan to teach English in Japan after I graduate.
I really love finding quick, easy recipes, and I also enjoy getting great, easy to make Asian recipes. I really love cooking, but besides that I enjoy reading (HP Lovcraft + Thomas Ligotti), poetry, writing, video games (yeah, I know!), being outdoors, animals, and a bunch of other stuff.
My biggest pet peeve is when people chew audibly. It drives my friends and family crazy, but I just can't stand that sound!!
