Step 5: Simmer and Blend (Optional)
- Let the soup simmer for 15–20 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.
- If you prefer a smoother consistency, blend half the soup using an immersion blender or in batches with a regular blender.
- Return blended soup to the pot and stir to combine.
🧡 You’ll still have tender chunks of chicken and veggies, but the base becomes ultra-silky and rich!
Step 6: Assemble and Serve
- Ladle the warm, creamy soup into bowls.
- Top with your toasted sandwich croutons.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, shredded cheese, or a drizzle of cream if desired.
