My daughter made this soup for us one day and it was a big hit. She found this recipe on-line somewhere. It is a thick soup, but you can add more chicken broth and milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. I omit the salt as there is enough in the chicken broth and the cheese. If you don't have swiss cheese, it is also good with just the cheddar cheese!
