Tasty and Fast

I made this soup for dinner with my "I hate soup" son. He loved it. I added chopped onion instead of the onion salt and used roasted chicken breasts. Quick, easy and very tasty.

bEST RECIPE IN THE WORLD!

This is the most awesome recipe! I found it in a magazine, and decided to try it when I had family coming to visit. I made subs to go with it! The whole pot was gone within minutes! Everyone raved about it! Sometimes I thicken it, put biscuits on top and bake it also! This is the recipe that I always take when someone has a new baby, gets out of the hospital, or I just want to lend a helping hand! I haven't met anyone yet that didn't love it!

Such a winner!!!

This recipe helped with unexpected dinner guests one night, my neices and nephews are really picky eaters... so I was crossing my fingers that they would like this... I added 1/2 cup of cooked/steamed white rice to the recipe to fill it up. It was gone before I could blink. I made another potfull the next weekend and it went just as fast.

Could it be any easier!

My husband and I love this soup! It was very easy to make, and could easily be adjusted with different vegetables, seasonings on the chicken, or even ground meat. It goes wonderfully with garlic bread and a salad. I will be making this again!
