I tried this as I am a big fan of the soup at O'Charleys and thought it would be great if I could make it myself at home. I have only made one batch, but went by the directions exactly and it wasn't as close as I hoped. Mine didn't come out bad, just a little more bland than I hoped and no where near the creamy consistancy of O'Charleys. If you like Chicken based soups than I'm sure this will work well for you, but if you're looking for a 100% clone, it falls short.

I am a teacher, and have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 9 years. I have a niece who is 7, and a nephew who is 1. Also, I have 2 sweet kitties. Sinatra is a bit on the plump side, and Audrey is a petite dainty thing. They both are almost mirror images of each other.
