This recipe is very good. I made it a few years ago and it's from Jean Paré. This soup can be frozen. It's a thick soup.

This is a great recipe Boomette. I am sorry for trying to ruin it on my end. I used 2 potatoes just because I wanted to use them up. I think I may have used a bit more cauliflower than what was called for too. I had to add a bunch more water as a result. This is all from my changes. A lesson, do not mess with a good thing! I also did not add the sherry, as I did not have it. I was confused about the water being in there twice, until I printed out and read the instructions. Duh. I added some leftover almonds on top. I am not a carrot fan, but this was pretty good. The carrots add a touch of sweetness to the soup, but not too much. I love the addition of nutmeg. I also omitted the salt and I didn't miss it. The green specks are the chives I put in my bowl, but I stirred it before I took the picture. I truly must try this again when I am having a better day.

    DH very much enjoyed this soup! I really liked the thick texture and the very few calories! I used fat-free cheddar (although it doesn't melt very well) and served tonight as a main dish for three, which we hungrily ate on this cold Fall night. Probably next time I wouldn't add the nutmeg - I might do thyme or sage instead. Mine turned out much more orange from the carrots than the picture Parsley posted!

    I made a batch of this today to use the last of some leftover carrots. I was not sure of the beef stock cube so I used a veg stock cube instead and it was very good. Just was you need on a cloudy, rainy evening while watching the world go by.

    Mmmmmm....... so thick and creamy, without any cream or butter! I used all the ingredients as listed, but simmered everything except the cheese and sherry together (instead of just the first 5 ing) for about 20 minutes. I agree that no additional salt is needed. I used the optional sherry and think it really added a nice touch to the soup. Thanx for posting. I'll be amking this again!
