    I also love this soup. I use Italian sausage, fresh herbs, 1/4 tsp of nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp of red chile flakes. Sometimes I just use milk instead of the cream. - 8/16/10

    I love this recipe. I am a WLS patient and have to watch what I eat. This is a simple recipe with a lot of favor. After the soup is cooked I take my hand blender and finely chop up the meat. It make a smooth soup whe you do that. - 8/21/09
