Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the soup in a pot over low heat until heated through. You may need to add a splash of chicken broth or water to loosen the soup as it may thicken in the fridge.
Variations:
- For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño.
- Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter version.
- Add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added nutrition.
- Use gluten-free pasta if serving with the soup.
- For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with chickpeas and use vegetable broth.
