Nice—black pepper is a perfect addition here 👍
🌶️ How to use it in your dish
- Add ½ to 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper into the soup + milk mixture
- Sprinkle a little extra on top before baking for a subtle kick
- You can also add a pinch after baking for a fresher, sharper flavor
🔥 Why it works
- Cuts through the creaminess of the soup
- Adds warmth without making it spicy
- Pairs really well with potatoes and chicken flavor
💡 Pro tip
If you’ve got it, use freshly cracked pepper instead of pre-ground—it makes a noticeable difference in aroma and taste.
If you want to level it up even more, try adding a bit of garlic powder or smoked paprika alongside the black pepper.
