This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. It's also a great make-ahead meal. I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then freeze it for later.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the salt.

This soup was a little too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it with less cream next time.
