Everyone loved it.
For Christmas this year I had a soup buffet. I made 6 kinds of soup. I had the most request for this recipe. As for kid friendly - 5/10 kids picked out the Mushrooms.

This Soup is a keeper!!!
I made this soup once before where I followed the recipe. This time I also used store bought roasted chicken . I reduced the amount of corn starch to one full tablespoon and added more wine. It tasted a lot better than the first time. My husband loved it!

Just Wild about this soup!
I invited 6 friends over to "taste" this recipe because I planned to cook and serve it at our church for a Ministerial Association luncheon our church was hosting. I made a double batch just to be sure there was enough soup. I served the soup in a sour dough bread bowl and a salad. It was a real hit. They all loved it. And the bonus was that I had plenty to serve later that day for supper. The recipe makes plenty, plus it's easy to make.
