# Handy Tips:
01 -
For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or almond milk and omit Parmesan or use a dairy-free alternative.
02 -
For a thicker consistency, reduce broth or blend a portion of the soup before adding cream and cheese.
03 -
Chicken can be swapped with sausage, turkey, or beef to vary the flavor.
