I loved this soup! It's a real tumm-warmer! I doubled the recipe, but only increased the cream by 50%. I used fresh garlic instead of powder and added a bit of tarragon. After pureeing, it's such a great consistancy and flavor, that I think (if you're concerned about fat) you could do without the cream, or maybe add just a little...maybe even some low-fat milk. Thanx for posting this yummy soup; I'll make it again.

I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6
grand and glorious grandchildren.
I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby
My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby.
My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands.
He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
