Notes

NOTE: I used 64-oz. of chicken broth for this recipe. The soup is very thick. You may find that you want to thin it more, to your taste. Use either additional chicken broth or water.
NOTE: This soup tends to thicken as it sits out and if it’s refrigerated. You may need to add water or additional broth to thin it out to your level of comfort.
