DEAR HELOISE: You had a recipe for a fat-free cream soup base that was delicious. Since my husband and I love preparing soup all year, I wanted to ask if you'd print this recipe for me and other soup-lovers. With a little leftover chicken and mushrooms, I can make a tasty soup. -- Betty Jo M.,in Fort Wayne, IndianaDEAR HELOISE: I've used a walker for five years and used tennis balls on its legs for three years. -- Lois S.,in Temple, TexasDEAR HELOISE: I use two pairs of pliers to open tiny bottles.
