I came home to the lovely smell of the soup simmering in the crock pot. Its especially nice because today is winter weather of the worst kind: cold, rainy, slushy on the brink of freezing out. So I'm sitting here eating it right now because DH is at a work related Christmas thing and it's yummy!Except that I think I put in too much pepper (for my tastes anyways). Is white pepper hotter than black? Because Tummy used white pepper in hers, I experimented and did half white and half black. I also used chicken stock and skim milk. Then I added some fat free half and half at the end after it was blended to make it creamier.
I baptized my new hand blender with this recipe too. I had bought myself an early Christmas present because I have been making a lot of soup this winter and it saves a lot of time. One funny thing from the directions: it said "Do not use outdoors." WTH? Go figure that one out!
I will definitely make this one again (and try it with vegetable stock next time - I forgot to buy some) and adjust the amount of pepper!
Thanks Slicey. I loved the way the recipe reads like you are talking. I printed it out as is - you are immortalized in my cookbook now!
