Where can I buy the ingredients for this recipe?
I recommend buying all your ingredients at your local farmer’s market or a specialty grocery store.
It is best to buy free-range chicken. It is also a healthier option for sure. You can choose boneless, skinless chicken thighs from the meat section. Personally, I love to have things with skin and bones, it gives more flavor and richness to the soup.
Can I substitute the ingredients in this recipe?
Sure! You can make substitutions based on your preferences or dietary restrictions.
Instead of chicken, you can use turkey, or mushrooms for a vegetarian version.
If I make a vegetarian soup, I like to use fresh and dry porcini mushrooms and chanterelle mushrooms. The lasts taste so good when you fry them.
You can also use different vegetables such as bell peppers and sweet potatoes.
