Notes
Pair with a side salad or steamed green beans. Add a dollop of sour cream or fresh herbs for extra flavor. Swap the soup to cream of chicken or celery for a twist. Add more veggies like mushrooms or bell peppers. Make ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3–4 days.
