"I feel guilty just posting this recipe...2 quarts of heavy cream!! I guess it is low carb, though. Low carb = healthy, right? This comes from the Reata Restaurant, by way of "Best American Recipes.""

I suggest using 1 1/2 cups broth (making it less carbs) reduce to half then add heavy cream just before serving. Cooking this with all cream for 30 minutes is very hard to keep from curdling. As mine did. Hey it gave it texture. LOL! I did process in a blender for a smooth soup which took care of it. I did make 1/4 of the recipe adding some shredded cheddar cheese on top with cilantro at serving. Take heed when making this. But do make it!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I wandered onto Recipezaar less than a year ago, looking for a lentil soup recipe. I'm pretty sure I haven't left the computer since then...I've been completely sucked in by this site! Of course, I do take the occasional break to actually cook the recipes I find.
When I'm not at my computer or in the kitchen, I'm working toward my PhD in clinical psychology from Kent State. I also work as a therapist at the campus clinic, teach a class (Social Psychology this semester), and work as a research assistant. I'm a little bit busy. I do usually find time every day to cook something for myself with the help of this site, and to exercise (to counteract the effects of the great recipes I find here).
I don't have much time in my life for hobbies at the moment (sigh), but I seem to recall that I used to like reading, going to see musical performances, and watching movies. I still do my best to travel as much as possible. My sister, Kate, my boyfriend, Jake, and my friend, Kris, are my favorite travel partners. Kate and I go on an "eatacation" every year.
