"Creamy tasting soup that is sure to please. You can use half an half instead of heavy whipping cream if desired. People have different tastes so spice it up if you want. This is just a basic recipe. I usually add some shakes of hot sauce to the soup. You can also omit the sherry if you like. I have added cooked chicken and that was good also. You can change it up as I have said its just a basic recipe. Hope you enjoy! "

Step by Step Method

Heat thoroughly and serve garnished with the chopped chives.

You stated this is just a good basic recipe, but you were wrong! It is a GREAT basic recipe! I made 2 additions-a stalk of diced celery, and some leftover cooked turkey cut into cubes-otherwise made as written. Thank you for a new after-Thanksgiving soup favorite.
