For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken stock instead of canned broth. Garnish with a swirl of cream, a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper, or a few asparagus tips for an elegant presentation. To make this soup vegan, substitute the butter with olive oil, the chicken broth with vegetable broth, the milk with unsweetened almond milk, and the sour cream with a vegan sour cream alternative.
