David's Tips for the Best Soup
For richer flavor: Brown chicken in a skillet first (optional but recommended).Herb boost: Add 1 tsp dried thyme or 2 bay leaves while cooking.
Rice alternatives: Use wild rice blend (adds nuttiness) or cauliflower rice (low-carb).
Spice it up: Stir in ½ tsp red pepper flakes or hot sauce.
