CREAM OF ROAST CHICKEN SOUP
I had leftover roast chicken from dinner a few nights ago and wanted to try making soup. I've never made cream of chicken soup before, so I tried it for the first time and it's really easy to make. I threw what I had in the fridge into the soup and it made a really tasty dinner! Best served with a fresh crusty roll and a salad for a light dinner.
