Tips for Perfect Soup
The video shares these pointers to nail the recipe:
Adjust Broth: Use less broth (3 cups) for a thick, chowder-like texture or more (6 cups) for a classic soup.
Rehydrate Well: Let the hashbrowns soak fully to avoid crunchy bits.
Customize: Skip the chicken for a vegetarian option or add veggies like carrots for extra flavor.
Make It Ahead: This soup reheats beautifully for quick meals later.
