I omitted the cream/milk only because I didn't have any and just used a bit of extra butter. For vegetables, I used 10 days worth of leftover veggies I had frozen each night (so carrots, parsnips, turnip, onion, celery, bok choy, cabbage, leeks & chard). Very rich flavor (with the help of a couple of Maggi cubes). Definitely making this again

Very good soup. I used homemade veggie broth and a variety of vegetables. Great way to use up those extras... I think I will add a little less milk next time. Thanks for the recipe!

This was a really great soup, and so enjoyable to eat, even in the supper. I used a chicken broth that was simulated in taste only, so I could include the milk. Everything else stayed the same, and that was also a good thing.

Yum, great soup! I used dill and used up a variety of frozen vegetables that I had left - green beans, corn, carrots, peas, and spinach. Thanks for sharing! ZWT8

I did not blend the veggies. I used thyme and more chicken broth - 2 cups total. I used half a bag of frozen mixed vegetables (corn, green beans, carrots). Very good recipe! I like the addition of the white pepper.
