For a spicier kick, use hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes. If you don't have half-and-half, you can substitute heavy cream or milk, adjusting the amount to achieve your desired consistency. Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms. For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop.
