Chicken Velvet Soup

We have a local restaurant, La Fiesta Patio Cafe, that serves amazing soups. One of my favorites is their Chicken Velvet Soup. One of my friends tried the recipe I found which was a close approximation, but still not quite as good. Here is the recipe she used:

Chicken Velvet Soup
6 T. Butter
1/3 c. flour
1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. light cream
3. c. chicken broth
1-1/2 c. finely chopped, cooked chicken

Melt butter in saucepan. Blend in flour; add milk, cream and broth. Cook and stir until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Reduce heat. Stir in chicken and a dash of pepper. Heat again to just boiling. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

I added a dash of Melting Pot's Garlic and Wine seasoning to it, which was not like the original, but very flavorful. If anyone has a better or different Chicken Velvet Soup that may be closer to Patio Cafe's soup, please feel free to post your recipe. Enjoy!
