Recipe Tips
For a fancier presentation, drizzle a little heavy cream onto the top of each bowl of soup.
If you want to turn up the heat in this dish, try adding a pinch of chili powder to the soup.
For a dairy-free version of this soup, swap out the evaporated milk for coconut milk. To make the soup vegan, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and use coconut milk instead of evaporated milk.
