💡 Tips
- For extra flavor, use smoked or spicy sausage
- Mash a few potatoes in the pot for a thicker texture
- Add carrots or corn for more veggies
- For a lighter version, use milk instead of cream
If you want, I can give you a slow cooker version, spicy version, or a restaurant-style creamy version 🔥
