Cream of Chicken and Green Chile Soup

This super easy and super yummy soup is the best thing for a time when you're needing something...well, easy and yummy! We loved this! Of course it's got IT Guy's name all over it because it has green chilies in it and it's got MY name on it because it's so simple to make. If you want, you can even use a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own chicken. You know rotisserie chicken is a cook's best friend, right? You totally need to make this soon...these cold winter evenings would be a perfect time!
