Yes! If you use raw chicken, add it to the pot when you sauté the vegetables. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, then proceed with the rest of the recipe.

2. Is it necessary to use cream?
No, you can skip the cream for a lighter soup, or substitute it with milk or a dairy-free alternative.

3. Can I use other types of potatoes?
Yes, you can use other kinds of potatoes like russet or red potatoes, but Yukon golds are ideal for their creamy texture.
