If you’re looking for the best creamy chicken soup you’ll ever make-you’ve come to the right place. When someone says “this is the best _____ I’ve ever had!” it becomes an absolute must try for me. That’s how this Icelandic chicken soup was born (I saw a TikTok and was sold). If you’d like to follow along a video tutorial, you can find that here.
Although it does have a few steps the good news is that it’s very easy to make!
