    Cream of Chicken Soup 2

    Did you see my most recent recipe before this one? Bacon Jalapeno and Monterey Jack Tamale Bites?  I'm hosting a giveaway for Becca from It's Yummi's 50th birthday! That giveaway ends at midnight tonight (Jan 30!) but she has decided to open up her final birthday giveaway to all of you! Read on after my recipe for Homemade Cream of Chicken Soup to enter to win $150 dollars!! Yep, you read that right, one hundred and fifty dollars!!

     

    Chef Bec's Birthday Giveaway!

     

    I love cream of chicken soup, but I want it simple, without a tons of veggies in it. Vegetables have their place, of course, just not in my cream of chicken soup! As a matter of fact until recently the only way I liked it was chicken broth, cream, chicken, and pepper only. I've expanded on that just a little bit, adding finely diced carrots and some spices and herb, but it's still very simple, and just the way I like it! I know this is probably just me though, so feel free to add whatever veggies you like. Celery, potatoes, parsnips, and mushrooms would all work well! So would crumbled bacon. I know bacon isn't a vegetable, I just wanted to point that out 😉 Anyway..........
