I didn't know whether to give 4 or 5 stars. It was very good. Mine turned out very thick, like a sauce instead of a soup. My husband said it would make a better pasta or chicken topping than a soup. But, good taste and creamy. -
Yummy soup! Easy to make. Definitely a keeper! thanks!

Most of my recipes are dairy free since I discovered many years ago that I am lactose intolerant. While I have had to give up some much-loved recipes, we have discovered that most can be modified to accommodate the changes to our diet. Most of my recipes say dairy free but there are a few from my childhood that may have dairy! I also have an intolerance to MSG so we spend a lot of time reading labels. Usually, it is just easier to cook from scratch, so we don't use many pre-made foods from the grocery store.</p> I like recipes I can make with minimal ingredients, real food I have in my kitchen, that are also easy to make!
