Made this tonight with jiffy corn muffins. It was delicious.
Me and my husband love the soup! Only thing is I don’t make it over the crockpot and I don’t put in the flour mixture but other than that we love this! I sometimes use ground turkey to make it more healthy and I even add a little macaroni noodles for some fun lol
