The first time I make a recipe, I always follow it exactly and then make changes as I see fit the following time. That will not be necessary for this dish. It came out fantastic! The chicken was juicy, the seasoning was perfect, and the gravy was delicious! I served it over mashed potatoes & turnips, alongside braised kale, and roasted brussels & jicama. It was a smash hit.

I enjoyed this soup. I made a smaller batch -- only 8 servings. I used one of those Knorr's chicken stocks which was great. I don't know what the other user was talking about, saying that using butter ruined the soup. I used butter and it was fine (I prefer the flavor over margarine). For me, this didn't have enough celery flavor, though, and so I added celery seed and celery salt (and some parsley). It was awesome! Also left the veggies in as I love them too much to remove. Delicious! With some modifications, in my humble opinion.

Oh, man. I loved this. I wouldn't compare it to Panera, but -- and I can't believe I'm saying this -- I liked it better! I did have to make some modifications because I had a craving, but not the supplies. I had no milk, so I mixed some powdered creamer with water. It worked! Also used frozen broccoli, threw in some onions, shredded carrots, powdered onion, and garlic. I didn't find it to taste too much like chicken at all, and found the cream of celery to be the perfect compliment.
