At first I thought it was just a little bland... and I didnʻt have any cream for the garnish... so added @1/3 cup grated x-sharp cheddar. Wonderful!
This makes a very good soup & freezes well. I use broth, no milk since some in my family have issues. Serve topped with cruchy homemade croutons.
An excellent soup—rich and creamy. The only change I made was to use my immersion blender to purée all at once.
Really like this soup. Made my herb bouquet from fresh thyme, rosemary and sage. The bouquet wasn’t skimpy. The flavors transferred nicely. Next time, I’ll add some grated cheddar, as others have recommended.
Bland - next time I’ll try another recipe.
I also used Beef Broth - which gave it a rich flavor. (its all I had on hand)
