Just a few minutes, a few ingredients and you have a warm soup waiting on the stove. I love to have this on the stove as an appetizer for when family or company is coming over for dinner on a chilly fall or winter evening or for a lunch with a slice of french bread.
Jan's Tip: This is the perfect use for that last little bit of rotisserie chicken you have left that isn't quite enough for anything else. just save 3/4-1 cup of diced chicken pieces for this soup.
