I loved this soup. It was a little thin so I mixed about a teaspoon and a half of flour and margarine together and added it in to thicken it, plus the butter gives it a little more flavor. I also added a little nutmeg. Very good!!!!

I made this soup with about 6 cups of water and 5 chicken bouillon cubes.....probably should have used 5 cups of water, but it came out so very yummy. I also tried topping it off with some grated locatelli parmesan and it was awesome!!
