This is a recipe I came up with to use the left over turkey from Thanksgiving. You can certainly substitute cooked chicken for the turkey. I wanted to try and keep it "lower calorie" than a cream based soup so obviously I couldn't use Half & Half or Heavy Whipping Cream, but I wanted a soup with a little more than a "broth" type consistency so I opted to make a blonde roux and it worked perfectly. Update 1/1/07: I made this soup today but decided to add 2 packages of dry ranch salad dressing mix just to see how it would turn out. I really like the extra flavor it adds and will make it this way from now on.
