Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a dollop of sour cream to the soup mixture. You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup if desired. If you're looking to add a bit of heat, a pinch of cayenne pepper works well. This dish can also be made vegetarian by opting for vegetable broth instead of chicken broth in the soup.
