Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir together.
Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and combined.

Can I make the soup ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the soup ahead of time and reheat it. Just ensure it’s stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
What type of bread works best for the grilled cheese?
Large Italian bread is recommended for its texture and ability to hold the fillings well.
