Mock Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup - Modified AHA image

Entered for safekeeping. Diabetics and heart patients need to watch their carbs and their sodium, but they still need to eat, and cream of chicken soup is satisfying and useful for other recipes. This has been adapted from the American Heart Association Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Cookbook of 1989. This will replace one can of condensed cream of chicken soup.
