Joanna Gaines Cream of Chicken Soup Recipe

Joanna Gaines’ creamy chicken soup is a soothing dish that fuses warmth with a hint of spice.
This recipe starts with a base of butter and veggies, including poblanos which add a mild, smoky flavor.
Soups can sometimes be one-dimensional, but using an immersion blender provides a creamy texture that’s so enticing.
A good tip I found is to sauté the vegetables until they’re absolutely tender, ensuring a rich base for the soup.
