I can’t wait to make this! It sounds wonderful! Thank you!
Looks yummy. Gona try this one. Thx.
What is an immersion blender> Can I just put my hand blender in the pot?
Hi Linda, This is what an immersion blender looks like: http://amzn.to/1AisUQv , but yes, I think you could just use your hand blender.
What kind of cheese are you using? When I made this my nutritional profile was substantially different – my protein total was only 32g per serving.
wonderful recipe Hallie……..i absolutely love the flavor
This was SO good and SO easy! I was looking for an easy soup. This fit the bill. Thank you!
