Perfect Partners
Nothing beats dunking fresh warm biscuits in this soup. Sometimes I'll bake up some honey wheat rolls or grab a crusty ciabatta. That bread soaking up the creamy broth it's heaven.
Keep It Fresh
Stays good in the fridge three days in a sealed container. When reheating add a splash of broth if needed. You can freeze it too just know those potatoes might change a bit when thawed.

Mix It Up
Try adding mushrooms gives it such nice earthy flavor. Going dairy free? Coconut milk works beautifully. Fresh thyme or rosemary makes everything taste extra special.

I love adding crispy bacon bits on top some shredded cheese maybe a dollop of sour cream. A fresh salad or roasted veggies on the side balances all that creamy goodness.
