Tips

  • The secret is to add Greek yogurt to the pot instead of the more commonly used cream cheese and to use a good-quality chicken bone broth. You still get that signature velvety, creamy texture that’s full of flavour while keeping things healthy and light. It also comes together in one pot in under an hour for maximum flavour and minimum clean up.
