Recipe Tips

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. You can also use a rotisserie chicken for this recipe. If you want to add more flavor to the soup, add a tablespoon of tomato paste or a few tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat. For a creamier soup, add a cup of heavy cream towards the end of the cooking time.
