Notes
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; it tastes even better the next day.
Substitutions: For extra savory depth, try adding sliced seared chicken breast or smoked turkey strips.
Texture: For a creamier soup, use an immersion blender to pulse the soup a few times.
