From Fred Peters:

Broth: 1 chicken (about 5 lb) 2 1/2 quarts water

Soup: 3/4 c butter (room temperature) 3/4 c flour 2 c light cream (OR
half-and-half) 6 c chicken stock, heated 1 1/2 c cooked chicken
breast, finely chopped Salt, to taste, if desired Freshly ground
black pepper, to taste 1 c fresh parsley, snipped, to garnish

Broth: Simmer the chicken for about 1 hour. Remove the chicken and
cool; remove the meat from the bones. Reserve the white meat and save
the remainder for other uses.

Soup: Blend the butter and flour together in a mdm (3-quart)
saucepan. Warm the cream in a seperate pan. Add the warmed cream to
the butter-flour mixture and stir until smooth. It will start to
thicken when it is heated. Stir in two c of the hot stock. Cook over
low heat, stirring, until heated through and blended, about 4
minutes. Add an additional 4 c of stock and the chopped chicken.
Season to taste with salt, if desired, and pepper. Heat to serving
temperature--steaming, but not boiling or the cream will break. Watch
the pot closely to keep from coming to a boil.

Serve from a heated tureen and ladle into heated bowls. Garnish with
snippets of fresh parsley.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
