Cream Soup Base
Cream Soup Base
I used this recipe to make a cream of broccoli soup a few weeks ago.  This recipe is  just a stepping stone to any type cream base soup you might want to make.  Whatever is on sale that week at your grocery store in the vegetable section would work nicely.  Cauliflower, asparagus, Butternut Squash, Acorn Squash, Mushroom, Tomato.  All these soups can really be started the same with just some personal adjustments or your own idea's added in.  Why not try making one of your favorite vegetables into a cream soup for dinner tonight.  Add your own touches and make it your recipe.  Then let me know how you improved on this basic recipe.            I would love to post it on this site.
