Nice soup, & easy to make! Used vegetable stock & 3 tablespoons of whipping cream, along with unsalted butter & a vadalia onion! A nice blend of flavors! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's Pick-A-Chef]
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am always checking Recipezaar for new recipes or looking for copycat recipes of something I have had while eating out. While I enjoy cooking, I am more of a desserts freak myself. I love making all kinds of desserts and sharing them with my family. My husband tends to do more of the cooking (and I must admit, does a fantastic job) but I am still on the search for yummy new recipes. And in case anyone is wondering, my name (Eat! Eat! You're skin and bones!) is from a Seinfeld episode. I chose it b/c (A) Seinfeld is soo funny and, (B) I am notorious for making people try things even if they refuse repeatedly.
