Notes
If you want to make this with raw chicken: slice chicken into small bite-sized pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in soup pot and cook chicken until brown on all sides. Remove from heat and make the recipe as desired, adding the chicken back once the soup is boiling. Cook until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are done, then add the half and half.
