Notes

  • Use coconut milk or dairy-free creamer for a dairy-free version.
  • Enhance nutrition with added carrots, celery, or spinach.
  • Shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover turkey works well.
  • Add a cornstarch slurry for a thicker soup.
  • A bay leaf or rosemary adds extra herby depth.
