Very deish. We are diabetics, so I made this with Whey Low for diabetics. Turned out great. Made this along with the Creamy Chicken Rice Soup recipe found on Taste of Home. Will make both again.

Delicious! I added fresh grated ginger and used fresh grated nutmeg with a dash of jamacian all spice. Loved it.
