Wonderful! Made this last night, followed the recipe exactly except I only had two cans of Chicken Broth, which equalled a little less then four cups of liquid. Everything else was the same. Turned out great, loved the texture, and it didn't need anything else, no bacon, no chives, no sour cream. It was perfect just the way it was. Thanks DancingCook, we loved it!

When I got this recipe, my fiance repeatedly asked me to make it. Am I glad I did - it is so very good! My kids (even the fussy one) all loved it. Great way to get them to eat their veggies. Thanks for a simple, effective recipe. My only suggestions are to add a little garlic (If you like it), and maybe garnish with a dollop of sour cream. MMM

Excellent! Very easy and fresh tasting! Will definitely make frequently! I used 1% milk instead of heavy cream.
