    This is very similar to the Cooking Light recipe found on myrecipes.com. Yum! - 12/2/10

    Thank you for not basing your soup on a can of "cream of whatever" in a can. This sounds great, I will try it, but with Tillamook cheese ( I am from the pacific northwest ) and I am going to cut the butter in half and replace it with olive oil. Fresh garlic puree in place of powder sounds good too. - 2/3/10
