  1. I feel really silly, but I cannot see the recipe for the soup on this page! Help, Christy! I’d really like to see how to make this Famous stuff!!

  2. Christy, I made this soup last night along with your Beef and Broccoli which I’ve made several times in the last few months. What a great dinner! I used to make my own simple version of egg drop soup just with chicken broth, eggs, and green onions. This version is SO much better. Thanks!! I’ll definitely be making it this way from now on. I’m going to be trying your Chicken Teriyaki soon and I’m sure that will be great too.

      1. Hi again, Christy. I forgot to mention that I just ordered two copies of your magazine for my mother and me. I can’t wait to get it! 🙂

        1. HEY! I’m so sorry about you not being able to access the recipe. I logged in to add some info to this post last week and apparently accidentally deleted it! I appreciate you letting me know because I have restored it now and am about to email the recipe to you in pdf format so you have it without having to come back 🙂 The magazine was available on newsstands for a limited time. I’m not sure if they have it anymore but it may be in the online store at Hoffman 🙂
