kmrichard from Wolfeboro, NH on 12/09/05 This was incredible!! One of the best I've tasted! I couldn't find smoked chicken, so I did use a bit of liquid smoke. I used extra chipotle as well, so it was nice and spicy. Instead of all the heavy cream I used 1 cup of half and half and 1 cup of skim milk & 1/3 cup of powdered milk. That made it thick and I saved some calories and fat. My husband liked it so much that he had more for breakfast the next morning
