Notes & Tips

Substitutions

• Yellow Onion: you can replace the yellow onion with red onion, however it may leave a redish tinge to the soup.
• Flour: you can also substitute the flour for cornstarch since it is only to add thickness to the soup.
• Chicken Broth: substitute vegetable stock for chicken broth if you prefer, just be sure to add a little more salt to the soup if needed.
• Milk: you can use slightly more heavy cream to replace the milk but you can’t use milk to replace heavy cream or the soup will not be thick enough,
