heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: canned chickpeas

Tofu offers a plant-based option, while chickpeas are budget-friendly.

Heat butter in a large pot over medium heat until melted.

Add chopped onions, carrots, leeks, and celery; sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.

Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

Add diced potatoes and fresh herbs; simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and whisk in heavy cream and egg yolks until combined.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Serve hot with crusty bread.
