Not bad, but I found it too salty. I even used reduced sodium chicken broth to make it.

This was good, and you can do a lot with it - add mushrooms, broccolli, etc. We got tired eating the soup - added paprika and cayenne pepper and had a cheese dip (i'd reduce it more if I were to use it for that again). Very good, very versatile.

This was very good. Ham or broccoli would be a nice addition as well.
