  UDD NOTES: This began life as a "Weight Watchers"
  deal. I have used all 'normal' full flavour
  ingredients in place of the low/no/reduced fat
  stuff. As well as using chicken broth if there was
  no veggie broth at hand. Served in a latte' cup
  this is a complete meal in and of itself. Especially
  if there is bread present.
