Notes
- Soften cream cheese beforehand to ensure smooth, lump-free melting and even distribution throughout the soup.
- Choose a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio to enhance the soup’s depth without overpowering other flavors.
- Replace flour with cornstarch or almond flour for a gluten-free thickening option that maintains the soup’s creamy consistency.
- Feel free to add extra vegetables like carrots or zucchini for additional nutrition and texture variation.
