Notes
- Heavy cream: I love the richness heavy cream gives to this soup, if you'd like you can substitute whole milk or fat free half and half - the result will be slightly less rich.
- Milk alternate: to keep this dairy free or to make this soup even lighter, skip the cream/milk altogether and add more broth.
