Frequently asked questions
What is chicken base and where do I find it?
The ingredients in chicken base will vary depending on the brand you choose – some may include things like garlic or herbs like thyme or parsley.
It is very common to find it in grocery stores these days. You can find chicken base in most grocery stores near the bouillon cubes and chicken broth.
Can I make this on the stovetop?
Sure thing. Add 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil (or 1 Tablespoon of olive oil and 1 Tablespoon butter) to a soup pot or dutch oven and sauté the over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until softened but not browned.
Can I double this recipe?
Trust me, don’t let this throw you off! It’s totally worth it. So many cream based soups do really well with a little nutmeg added (like Olive Garden’s Chicken Gnocchi soup). You don’t taste it as a separate flavor, it just adds a little something that gives this deeper flavor.
