Can't wait to try this soup. Can you add beans to it? As my dh like things like this with beans.

Actually, this would be great with some chili type beans or black beans in it! Great idea!

When I made it, I accidentally got distracted and forgot to put the heavy cream in, and it was still wonderful.

If you make it, let us know how you like it.

I made this again, tonight, but own modified version. This time I used chicken and chicken broth, instead of the beef and beef broth. And I added extra garlic and about 1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper. It was wonderful!
