Bill's Creamy Shredded Chicken Soup image

This is a full-flavored, rich, and creamy shredded chicken soup recipe that is not only good as a dish base, but just plain good on its own. No added salt, and only a small amount of low-sodium chicken broth. Garnish with parsley and Cheddar cheese.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out bland and watery. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.
