Our family loves this soup on a cold winter night. If you want a less rich soup with fewer calories, substitute milk for the half-and-half. —Barbara Schmid, Cavalier, North Dakota

Tip

Chopping Onions

I’ve found that the best way to chop onions with no tears is to place the cutting board on top of the stove and turn the vent fan on high. —Gloria D., Courtenay, British Columbia

We loved this soup...that being said, I made a few revisions. I added carrots and about a 1/4 cup of Philly's cooking cream Savory Garlic and I also used Skim milk. Will definitely make this soup again.

Took this to a church soup supper, and it was all gone in minutes. Many asked for the recipe. My husband, whose not usually a soup lover, can't wait til I make it again.

Probably just a mistake that this recipe only had ONE star--clearly the reviewer loved it just as much as we did!

I made this with leftover Turkey from the freezer, and have since made it with cooked chicken. It is AMAZING!!

My changes were to add butter to equal the flour ratio, and I added 1 1/2 - 2 tsp. of Emeril's Essence.

Planning to make it soon with left-over Thanksgiving Turkey!! Made it last year and we loved it. Did not change it at all, just made it as the recipe said. It was rich and delicious! I used wild rice from upper Michigan where it grows and is harvested. It is awesome and has a 'nutty' flavor.
