Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting the oleo with butter or olive oil. Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can enhance the taste profile. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeños to the mixture. You can also use leftover rotisserie chicken instead of the soup for a heartier texture.
