Made this soup exactly as written & it seemed rather bland to us on 1st taste. I added some black pepper & 2-3 drops of Tobasco. I used a shredded Gouda for gratin I buy here & mixed it w/the soup. The result suited us better. Thx for posting. -
At first I thought this soup was going to taste too floury, but I didn't find that to be the case once I made this (normally flour is made into choux before combining with other liquids and the cooking removes a raw flour taste). I substituted allspice for the mace as that was what I had in the pantry and used 2% milk instead of whole milk and cream. Used vegetable bouillon cubes instead of beef. Also I bought some smoked Gouda, and the taste was just awesome! Thick and filling soup, thanks.
