To serve, ladle into bowls and dust with cayenne pepper.
Notes
↑Chicken base can be found in the spice section. I used Schilling's Chicken flavor base. Spice islands also has a product called chicken flavor stock base that is probably the same thing. I would like to give credit to Scott Hammon, whose extra efforts succeeded in wrangling this recipe from Baby Doe's chef. Since it's been many years since i sampled this soup at the restaurant in Dallas, I can't judge how closely this approximates the original. But at least the results are tasty! hope all who try it will enjoy it.
