4sp/4pp per serving

Ingredients

• 2.5 T butter
• 1/2 cup diced onions
• 1/2 t parsley flakes
• 1/4 t garlic powder
• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 cups almond milk (I use unsweetened original)
• 2 cups chicken broth
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1.5 cup shredded chicken (cooked) about 6oz
• 1 T light cream cheese
• 2 T bacon crumble

Preparation

Step 1

1-In a large pot on the stove melt your butter on medium. Add parsley and garlic powder and stir, then add your diced onions. Let onions cook for approx. 5 minutes.

2-Add the flour and stir well, it will be thick. Slowly whisk in your milk and chicken broth. Let cook on medium-low for approx. 20-25 minutes, soup will thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste, then add chicken, bacon and cream cheese, let simmer for 5-10 minutes while cheese melts.

3-Makes 4-1 cup servings at 4sp or 4pp per serving. Feel free to add in some diced carrots and/or celery, when adding in the onions.

I served mine with some quick and easy garlic sticks I made using a 7.5 ounce package of Pillsbury tea biscuits. Melt 2t butter, roll biscuits out with hands to form sticks, place on a sprayed cookie sheet. Brush sticks with melted margarine and then sprinkle with garlic powder and a little parmesan cheese.

Bake in oven as directed on Pillsbury package. 1pp each or 2sp each.
