FINALLY! Dolly has revealed her recipe for the Dixie Stampede Soup in her cookbook called DOLLY'S DIXIE FIXIN'S.  

**Hint: Make a white/blonde roux with the butter and flour before add the rest of the ingredients. 

This will help with the thickening and keep lumps out. It could take a good 15 minutes 

simmering after adding the half and half to see desired consistency.

Anyone who has been to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and attended the Dixie Stampede knows how good this is.
