Tip

Thickening Cream Soups

Mashed potato flakes work well to thicken cream soups. Just add a little bit at a time until you reach the desired consistency. —Teri Lindquist, Gurnee, Illinois

Please check for revisions before making this recipe.....the amount of broth appears wrong.....increased it to one full quart container and it was a success!

It may have a typo but 1 1/2 cups of chicken is not enough so I doubled it-3 cups. If I hadn;t it would have been too thick. I also used half and half instead heavy cream. We like to sprinkle a little Cheddar on each bowlful too. Delicious!
