They don't like anything too hot, right?I've also tried adding a fourth cup of sour cream whisked in after I remove it from the heat. Now, that makes a CREAMY soup....yummEE.

I've seen pictures of tomato soup with popcorn and various things on top. Even potato chips are good on it. I think that our milk is so watered down now, that it is hard to get that good creamy taste we once were able to get in our soup, etc. I was having trouble with the milk in my soup turning to clabber or looking spoiled and someone said that it is because of the lack of cream in our milk, now. So use half and half, or add some cream instead of just using plain milk. I haven't tried that. I'm just cooking it lower and for a shorter time. I used to bring my soup to a boil, then let it simmer a while, with no problem. Now, I have to just get it barely warm, then move it off the burner, or my milk ruins. I liked your suggestion of using more milk in the cream of chicken soup. I've been using about 1/2 can of water, then filling the can the rest of the way to about 3/4 full with milk. It seems a little on the watery side that way. My comfort food is ice cream, usually vanilla, sometimes with additions like a banana! Also potato chips or french fries, depending on what I feel like.
