For a richer flavor, stir in 2 tablespoons of butter during this step.
5️⃣ Optional Pie Crust Topping
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the pie crust into strips, shapes, or rounds and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake according to package instructions until golden brown (usually about 10-12 minutes).
Once baked, add the crispy pie crust pieces to the top of each bowl of soup before serving.
6️⃣ Serve
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with pie crust strips (if using), and serve hot.
