Notes

Make sure to stir the soup often while cooking to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Feel free to adjust the thickness; if you prefer a thicker soup, cook it a bit longer, or add more flour. You can use rotisserie chicken to save time or any leftover cooked chicken you have at home. Consider adding vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor.
