Tips

this is NOT a spicy soup. i love some green tabasco stirred into mine.

freezes well.

do not substitute low fat milk, the ingredients will separate giving it a "curdled" appearance.


Directions

melt butter in dutch oven over medium heat.

add chicken onion, and garlic. cook until all chicken is opaque, about 10 minutes.

stir in all remaining ingredients, except cheese. cook stirring frequently over medium/lo heat until beginning to simmer. simmer about 15 minutes.

Reduce heat to low. slowly stir in cheese. stirring frequently.
cook just until cheese is melted in well.
