Tips & Tricks (5)

Mushroom Maximization 🍄
Dry-sauté mushrooms first to remove excess moisture and concentrate their rich, umami flavor before adding to the soup.
Roux Perfection 🥄
Cook the flour and butter roux for 2-3 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste and create a smooth, rich base for the cream soup.
Layered Seasoning Technique 🌶️
Toast dried herbs like rosemary and thyme in olive oil before adding to the soup to release their essential oils and deepen their flavor profile.
Chicken Tenderness Hack 🔪
Cut chicken breasts into uniform 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking and prevent any dry or undercooked sections in the soup.
Creamy Consistency Secret 🥛
Temper the half and half by slowly adding a small amount of hot soup to it before incorporating to prevent curdling and maintain a silky smooth texture.
