This creamy soup recipe is perfect for those cool days now that the temperatures are starting to drop in our part of the world.

You can adjust this recipe to give it the desired consistency: if you prefer it to be more creamy, simply add a little more heavy cream or milk and you’ll give it a different and delicious touch. Try it and make it how you like! MORE + LESS -
