Very good. Quick and easy for a work night.

This was very good although I used low fat milk instead of cream. It still tasted rich and creamy. Garlic croutons were a great addition.

This soup is to die for! It's very creamy and rich. I omit the pimientos and cayenne pepper but follow the rest of the recipe. This is a fabulous soup.
