In my quest for new recipes last Monday, I came across a recipe like this one... http://mykitchencafe.blogspot.com/2008/10/creamy-chicken-and-wild-rice-soup.html. I am making the White Chicken Chili from this blog. My cousin made it for a progressive dinner at Christmas and everyone raved about it. I'm also going to try out the Broccoli Cheese Soup.
I'll have to check it out. Everything on that site looks delicious..
