I was skeptical about this soup at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. It's absolutely delicious! The chicken is so tender and flavorful, and the soup is so creamy and rich. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup is delicious and so easy to make. I used rotisserie chicken, which made it even easier. I also added a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little bit of a kick. It was a hit with my family, and I will definitely be making it again.
