Notes
For an even smoother consistency, you can blend a portion of the soup before serving. Always use low-sodium, high-quality chicken broth to control salt intake. Feel free to add other mild, cooked vegetables like peeled zucchini or spinach during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Avoid adding spicy herbs or acidic ingredients like tomatoes.
