I got this recpie from the recpie forum and thought of Deb (Poohbear) when I saw it since she is doing alot of soups right now.  I think when I make it I"m going to omit the chicken.  The lady who made it says it's really good.  I haven't tried it but I'm going to next week.

I have made this a couple of time - and it is rich and satisfying.

This sounds real yummy.But my oscar the grouch won't let me keep anything down unless it is completely liquid form. Anything else comes right back up. I am really getting frustrated. I guess i'm just a soup,pudding,Popsicle kinda gal for life LOL.
