For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. Smoked paprika can be used in place of cayenne pepper for a smoky twist. If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the cream. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
