  I also did a lower fat version and omitted the cream, and it was still yum! Will make this again and again!

  Absolutely my favourite home-made soup ever! Have made this lots of times; with the full stock content and sometimes less - depending on how far it needs to go round/how thick I want it! I always try to freeze the leftovers but it tends to get defrosted the very next day! I also added some tinned sweetcorn the last few times I made this and it was such a hit that I will now add this every time I cook. Give it a go!

  This is a really gorgeous soup, even if you don't add the cream.

  Really delicious, I use chicken stock instead of vegetable because I prefer the flavour

  This is also great as a basic chunky soup without the milk or cream. Only blend briefly into chunks using a hand blender. It still tastes great, but healthier and chunky for those really chilly nights!

  Very good and pracitcal, as I cooked it from before, kept it in fridge and just warmed it up when ready to serve. I did not include so much water, half the water is enough.
