I thought this soup was really wonderful and comforting. Just what I needed on a cold day. As we all do, I amended it just a bit. I didn't make 8 gallons (!) and I added minced celery and a clove of garlic. I also used half and half instead of heavy cream and it was still wonderful. Thanks for the recipe. It's a keeper.
