Excellent soup. I added additional spices,like cummin, curry powder and all spices. It was really good. Also, I added some leftover broiled vegetable I had made the days before, like yam, green pepper and potatoes. I pureed the whole thing, then added the half-half cream and emental cheese. Truly delicious. I would serve it to guests.
This soup was AWESOME and super easy to make! My 3 year old even liked it which in our house means this recipe is a keeper :) I added 3 cloves of garlic because we are huge garlic fans and also because I didn't have any cream I added 2 tbsp of sour cream instead...Mmmmmmm!
This soup was delicious and so easy to make. My teenagers asked for seconds!!!
