This was great and easy to make. I too, did a couple of things different. I ran out of milk so I used 2 cups of Almond milk and 1 cup of milk. Then I diced and seasoned chicken tenders.
I had all the fixings for chicken soup but wasn’t really in the mood for it. I came across this recipe and very glad I did! Will say I like it better . I had fresh frozen carrots, green beans (very few) and celery to use up along with the broccoli. My cream is precious to me so I only used about half a cup but added a can of cream of chicken. Oh and of course not your average bouillon. Absolutely wonderful. Will be making it again
My family really liked this. I doubled it right away EXCEPT for the milk. I only used 4 cups instead of 6 when doubling and it would have been way too runny if I would have followed the recipe. Also used regular cooked chicken.
Very nice. I didn’t have mushrooms so I just added extra carrots. Definitely don’t shred the carrots, I sliced them. I used fresh chicken breasts so i fried them before adding to the pot. Most ingredients’ amounts seem to be adjustable and you may add extra spices, like oregano or thyme.
This was positively fabulous! Yum. Definitely will make again!
Absolutely loved this soup! I put in extra of the veggies; used a combination of milk, oat milk, and half and half; and put in extra Worcester sauce. Oh, and I used rotisserie chicken from Costco. So delicious!
I’ve loved this soup! Easy and delicious!
So delicious! Made exactly as written. Used baby Bella mushrooms and rotisserie chicken from the store. Went with a can of fat free evaporated milk instead of cream and 1% milk for the rest. Will make this again and again!
This soup is amazing!! Loved by even my toughest critics (husband and 4 year old!). Wonderful flavor and filling for a meal.
Quick and easy. I added 1 cup mozzarella cheese while cooking. Comfort with a loaf of fresh bread out of the oven.
Sooooooo good. Posted the pic with garlic twist bread. OMG A++++
weirdly, this recipe has no salt listed, and i ended up adding at least a tablespoon. also subbed a cup of cheese for the cream, and made my own stock, and used that with the addition of 2 cups milk. threw in garlic and a frozen green pepper i had. I held back on adding the broccoli to the reux, and added it with the liquids. So this really ended up being a skeleton to the soup i made, but the end product is delicious.
This soup was great! I made some changes based on what we had on hand. I used frozen broccoli and cauliflower. I didn’t have any milk so I upped the chicken broth. I didn’t have the granules so I used two Maggi chicken broth boullion rectangles. I used heavy whipping cream and added cayenne pepper to give more depth. I followed the rest of the directions and added grated cheddar as I served it. Family loved it!
Fabulous. I made it in my instapot. So easy. Wonderfully filling served with crusty bread. I saw some added cheese but it is rich and creamy and I don’t think it needs the extra cheese.
If you can find it, use “Better Than Bullion” soup base. I, personally and from my family’s opinion (I’ve made it both ways), it tastes so much better. This is a wonderful recipe and even my coworkers loved it.
Instead of half and half I used heavy whipping cream and also doubled the recipe. This is my new favorite soup! Tens across the board!
I used boneless skinless chicken breasts & just allowed it to cook in the broth. I also used half almond milk & half chicken broth & thickened it with 4 ounces of cream cheese (I use fat-free). I used California mix & added a good bit of salt. I also added brown rice. Overall, this was a really great base recipe, but I always alter things either due to personal taste or food allergies. The seasonings were great, & the cheddar cheese before serving is a must!
My family of 7 really loved this soup! We had French bread and butter too. Yummy!
excellent soup. i had trouble getting it to thicken so i added a half cup of minute rice. excellent flavour. will definitely add this to my recipe box.
Good solid easy to make down home food. More of a chowder-like thickness than soup -like to me and somewhat on the bland side. Added a couple tsp of cajun seasoning and a bit of garlic salt. Enjoyable, but wouldn’t make again.
Fantastic recipe! Made it with 2% milk and fat fee 1/2 & 1/2; still wonderful. Only advice, because of the milk and flour, cook on a lower heat to avoid burning.
