Cons: some ingredients clumped together Made this tonight, but improvised a bit. Boiled my chicken thighs and legs and usd the broth from that. Next time I will be sure and skim the grease off of the broth first before using. I didn't use the exact measurements but did use the exact ingredients with the exception of the butter (omitted it because of the fat already from the broth) and didn't have any thickener. I had to use my own measurements because I like to make a big pot of a low carb soup to ensure enough for dinner and lunch the next day. The taste was awesome, just be sure to season with salt and pepper! My only con is that the cream cheese appeared in little clumps, as did the cheddar cheese. I did serve each bowl with extra shredded cheese, as a personal preference. The pros definitely outweigh the cons and like I said, the taste was yummy! Definitely will be a regular soup around here... KarbieGrl Blabbermouth!!! Registered: April 2004 Location: Right here, silly!

Cons: Didn't make enough to feed 4 hungry guys! My family LOVED this soup. They are not on a low carb lifestyle, and typically turn their noses up when I mention that it's something new. Not this time! They all wanted more! tekla MAJOR LCF POSTER!

Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Delish! Cons: none, but I'm going to have to go and re-check my carbs because it's so good. I had no trouble with clumping but I brought my soup up to a simmer and then added my cheese slowly. Very tasty.

Yes | Rating: 9    Pros: quick, simple, and fabulous! Cons: This recipe was great I used a roasted chicken that you get from the deli (already cooked whole chicken) and shreeded that whole thing and placed it in the soup! It was great and no need to use onions or use another dish. Let the soup cool for 15 minutes before eating it the broth thickens on its own no need for thickner. Highly Reccommended! todunlop Senior LCF Member Registered: January 2007 Location: North East, CT Posts: 499 Review Date: Thu January 4, 2007 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 9    Pros: easy very tasty Cons: I added everything but the chicken and broccoli. When it looked like most of the cheese was melted I used a hand held blender to puree until smooth. Then added the broccoli and chicken. Great soup. Crossylady Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2007 Posts: 0 Review Date: Sun January 21, 2007 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 0    Pros: Quick, easy to make. Cons: I could find none. I found the taste very good. I am watching my carbs, but I don't want to give up taste. This recipe proves you don't have too. I found it very satisfying, as they say it really hit the spot. I would highly recommend it to anyone. JukeGirl Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2007 Posts: 0 Review Date: Fri February 16, 2007 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 9    Pros: Easy and very tasty Cons: None I will use this recipe even after my low carb days. I grilled my chicken first in a little of EVOO and took it out. The bits left behind gave a great taste to the soup. I did not add the thicker because I didn't want the carbs and it wasn't needed. Can't wait for the leftovers today. julieboolie MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: March 2004 Location: Sunny AZ Posts: 2207 Review Date: Sun January 6, 2008 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Yummy! Easy, usually have ingredients on hand Cons: none! This was delicious, fast and totally hit the spot. I love soup, but don't trust restaurants and hidden carbs. I used some cooked shredded chicken I had on hand (just bonless/skinless breasts in crock pot w/ some broth) and it was fabulous. The cream chesse and cheddar kind of stuck to the bottom of the pan in the beginning, but it was all good by the end. I added some shredded cheddar when I served it. Hope it freezes well! Thanks so much for this recipe! julieboolie MAJOR LCF POSTER! Registered: March 2004 Location: Sunny AZ Posts: 2207 Review Date: Sun January 6, 2008 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 0    Pros: Cons: Forgot to mention, I used dried onion in place of the fresh and didn't need any thickener. It was fine just the way it was. enault Junior LCF Member Registered: October 2007 Posts: 0 Review Date: Fri January 25, 2008 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 10    Pros: Excellent tasting soup, very flavorful Cons: none This was easy to make. Nice hearty soup, fills you up. potoczny Junior LCF Member Registered: January 2008 Posts: 0 Review Date: Fri February 1, 2008 Would you recommend the Recipe? Yes | Rating: 9    Pros: very good flavor Cons: none really I only had one complaint! Didn't make enough! Next time I will double the ingredients. I did not need to add the thickener. I let it sit for a bit before serving to thicken up. I used a Tyson already roasted chicken, saved chicken cooking time. It was delish! polythenepam71 Junior LCF Member Registered: February 2004 Posts: 1 Review Date: Fri February 15, 2008 Would you recommend the Recipe?
