My husband and I love this recipe. It is definitely a keeper!! -
This was an excellent soup. I used 1 quart of whole milk and 1 quart half and half and it was very, very creamy. Got lots of YUMS..... -
Very good and easy. This was thick and rich, perfect for a cold, rainy fall evening. -
Very interesting. I liked the tang of the sour cream- I usually only garnish with it. I only wish this were lower in fat. Thanks hg!
