"This is a lovely belly warming soup I like to serve for lunch. I sometimes add smoked salmon to this. I add it in at the end with the milk. I have also made this with chopped leeks instead of onions, it has a milder flavour. You can use an immersion blender to puree this just before you serve it if you prefer."
