For a richer flavor, try using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
To make this soup vegan, substitute the butter with olive oil and the chicken broth with vegetable broth. Use a plant-based milk alternative in place of the evaporated milk.
If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully purée the soup in batches using a regular blender. Be sure to vent the lid to prevent pressure buildup.
Adjust seasoning to taste. You may need more salt or pepper depending on your preference.

    I made this soup for a dinner party, and everyone raved about it. It's elegant, healthy, and easy to make. I added a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.

  • Levi Schultz

    I found the soup a little bland, but after adding some garlic powder and a squeeze of lemon juice, it was perfect! Thanks for the great base recipe.

  • Coleman Mcglynnsporer

    Great recipe! I substituted coconut milk for the evaporated milk for a dairy-free version, and it was fantastic. Will definitely make again!

  • Shakira Buckridge

    This soup is surprisingly delicious! I was skeptical about a low-fat cream soup, but it's so flavorful and creamy. My kids loved it!
