If you use 1/4 cup, the soup is thinner.

Not too long before you will be having soup and we will be back in fresh fruit again!<br /><br />Paula - for all the butter my mother used, many of her soups were finished with milk - even her chowders. She felt they should never be too heavy! I have really been in soup mode lately!<br /><br />Susan - I hope Appy does make this (and "name" it) for you while you at away. It gets better after a few days in the fridge, like most good soups! xoxCocoa and Lavenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13627872741055523948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-12888551595974374132013-02-24T08:57:07.206-05:002013-02-24T08:57:07.206-05:00I hope Appy names this while I'm away this wee...I hope Appy names this while I'm away this week...and saves some for me!

I love this recipe David, and it has milk which is so much better than cream. Probably why I never look at cream of... soups, I think cream is better on pasta or desserts. I need to plant some herbs in my terrace, they make all the difference.

I use it often enough! it may not be soup weather in this hemisphere but I wouldn't hesitate knocking up your Mom's soup as soon as those cool temperatures move in. john | heneedsfoodhttp://heneedsfood.comnoreply@blogger.com
