I have gone off the menu again! It is so cold and wintry today that I felt like a warm bowl of soup. Plus my leeks needed to be used before they got any older! The amount of heavy cream you use is up to you. On Friday we used 1/2 cup which is my upper limit for heavy cream. Actually considering that three of us ate the soup and we have some left over, it really isn’t that much cream per person. Our daughter added more cream and Tabasco because she wanted it creamier and spicy. Recipes are merely a jumping off point for you to do you!
