All the household loved it, including our 2.5 year ols daughter!
Soup too bland, had to add more spices and add-ins to make it tasty.
I enjoyed it, but husband and 2 1/2 year old gave it a thumbs down. I found it tastier when I added a no salt spice. Also used sour cream instead of cream.
Fantastic soup! I never would have thought these ingredients together would have made such a delicious soup. We've made it several times over the summer.
