Tips & Variations
-
Low-carb version: Skip potatoes or use cauliflower florets instead.
-
Extra flavor: Add ½ tsp paprika or 1 tsp poultry seasoning.
-
Make ahead: Soup tastes even better the next day; store in fridge up to 3 days.
-
Gluten-free: Use gluten-free flour or cornstarch for thickening.
If you want, I can give a quick 20-minute stovetop version that’s super creamy and skips the roux step for faster prep.
