Bongo Bongo Soup image

Great for New Years. This is from Trader Vic's restaurants. I first had this back in the 1970's. Don't leave out the A-1 (it makes a difference) and don't sweeten the whipped cream. Unfortuneatly, the Seattle Trader Vic's closed many years ago. The closest one is in Atlanta or Tokyo.

Overall, I thought this soup was pretty good. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken and it's a nice, hearty meal for a cold winter day.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less chili powder next time.

I'm not a big fan of creamy soups, but this one was surprisingly good. The flavors were well-balanced and the chicken was tender.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too thick. I think I'll try it again with less flour next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add some of the spices.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out too salty. I think I'll try it again with less salt next time.
