Can this soup be frozen as the recipe would be too much for one person. I used to order this soup from a Frisch's Big Boy restaurant and now they no longer make it. To me it ranks right up there with my almost homemade asparagus soup. Yummy.

This makes quite a hearty, thick soup that I ended up thinning out a teeny bit with a tad more broth. I used the chicken base. It is also very rich (lots of butter and milk). I used salt and white pepper to season. A really nice cream soup. Thanks for sharing. -
This turned out absolutely delicious. Best soup I ever made. Thank you so much -
Well, this was just the ticket for using up a slice of leftover ham and a bag of frozen veggies. I think next time I will use a cup or two of chicken stock, rather than just a Tbsp of bouillon powder because this soup was almost more stew than soup. Delicious nonetheless!

I am a 63 year old retired grandmother (2 girls) who loves cooking and traveling the world. I love to learn some of the recipes of other countries and have cooked in China, Turkey, Thailand and many of the European Nations. I am looking for low calorie, low fat recipes for one or two people or ones that can be frozen for later. I am enjoying the recipes I have found and am looking forward to more.
