Recipes FAQ

What can I substitute for the heavy cream?

You can use half-and-half or whole milk instead of heavy cream. The soup won't be quite as creamy, but it will still be delicious.

Can I use canned chicken instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use canned chicken if you prefer. Just be sure to drain it before adding it to the soup.

Can I make this soup in a slow cooker?

Yes, you can make this soup in a slow cooker. Brown the chicken in a skillet first, then add it to the slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.

Recipe Tips

  • If you're short on time, you can use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.
  • Add some diced potatoes or sweet potatoes for extra heartiness.
  • If you don't have Monterey Jack cheese, you can use cheddar or pepper jack instead.
  • For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
