What I like about cooking the most is you get to control everything about it. You can add more of this and less of that depending on your taste.
Like more heat? Add more spice
Do you really like cheese? Add more cheese.
Don’t like butter? Ah, Don’t add butter!
I developed this recipe because I’m not a big fan of “cream of anything” soup. It has too much sodium!
