Variations & Tips<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

For a creamier version, you can add 1 cup of heavy cream to the soup after it has simmered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you’d like to add more vegetables, consider adding diced potatoes or a handful of spinach. For a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

If you have leftover turkey, it can be used instead of chicken, especially around the holidays. To make it gluten-free, ensure your chicken broth is gluten-free and serve with gluten-free bread.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
