My husband loves soup, so he made this for dinner last night. It was excellent, very flavorful.Topped it with fresh chives and sour cream. Also sprinkled with croutons which added a bit of crunch to it. Used fat-free half-and-half. Will definitely make again. Great for a weeknight meal.

I enjoyed this soup the more I ate it. I especially liked the sour cream with it and I may mix that in next time instead of the half-and-half. I stored it in individual servings and heated it up for a quick snack or side for lunch or dinner. I'll make this again!

This recipe was easy and tasty but not one I will make often. It would be a great side served with a bacon or ham sandwich. Perhaps more for the mature pallet.
