Delicious. Took longer than expected. Added more salt and black pepper. And a squirt of fresh lemon juice.
Used water – no broth. Very thick. Will add more water to up the leftovers.

This soup is SOOOOO good. I literally have made a batch of it every couple weeks since I saw this. Mine doesn’t look quite as golden as these pictures but the flavors are amazing. (I add the juice of the lemon too and love it.) It was a cold winter here and while I want to eat healthy and get in veggies I sure don’t feel like salad on a cold winter day. This was so satisfying!
This was amazing all our adult children thought it was the best soup they had eaten ! Taste very gourmet & rich !
Printer-friendly recipes would be so appreciated!
I agree! Please provide!
I made this tonight and did not put in the blender and I think it looked more like a creamy mushroom soup. Beautiful food and delicious! Thank you for this recipe.
This soup is absolutely delicious. Everyone in my house is addicted.
This one was too blah for me. I really like his leek & cauliflower soup. I add some chicken to boost up taste.
If follow exactly just what recipe said, but after I ate soup for less than 15 min, I experienced tense headache. It is not very bad headache, but I think it’s something from soup. I fast since 6pm yesterday and ate soup at 7pm today ; about 19 hrs fast . Can anyone tell me what may be the cause, please? It taste very nice, though.
Obsessed!!! One of the best soups I have ever consumed and what an amazing plus that it is healthy AND beneficial for my body!!!
