"this soup is delicious. my mom use to make it all the time during the winter months or if me and my brother were sick. it was so good, we would request it all the time. i still ask her to make it for me to this day! this is my attempt to make her soup. of course, it does not taste as good as hers. :) feel free to use chicken broth instead of bouillon. instead of half and half, consider using heavy cream or even carnation milk. like a little kick? add hot sauce!..."
