Notes

  • Crank up the flavor – Add even more flavor with bacon or chorizo.
  • Add some herbs – Season with a few dashes of Italian seasoning, basil, or oregano to add some herbs to the soup.
  • Add more veggies – If you feel like adding more veggies, try some chopped celery and carrots.
  • Substitute heavy cream – You should be able to use half and half or evaporated milk in place of heavy cream.
