Note
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. This soup can also be served cold as a chilled summer soup.
Safety: When blending hot liquids, remove the center cap from the blender lid and cover with a folded towel to allow steam to escape and prevent splattering.
Variations: For a lighter version, substitute low-fat cream of chicken soup or use chicken broth instead of the condensed soup. Add a splash of cream or milk at the end for extra richness.
