Part 3 - Combine: Gradually stir 2 Tablespoons (liquid portion) of the hot mixture into UNJURY cold mixture.
Continue to stir in another 2-3 Tablespoons of hot mixture. When finished, then add remainder of chicken and vegetables. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper; serve warm. (Finished soup may be pureed until smooth.)
