For a richer flavor, try using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. To make this soup vegan, substitute the butter with olive oil and the chicken broth with vegetable broth. Use a plant-based milk alternative in place of the evaporated milk. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully purée the soup in batches using a regular blender. Be sure to vent the lid to prevent pressure buildup. Adjust seasoning to taste. You may need more salt or pepper depending on your preference.
