Then I thaw it, heat it, and stir in 2 Tbsp sour cream or good alternative (I always have fat free plain greek yogurt around). Sprinkle the top with chopped chives.

I just blend it and it has a nice texture. I have seen some recipes that use evaporated milk instead of cream. that should cut down on the fat.caldancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420092673952123523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-34917876419062362282012-10-18T11:29:30.023-07:002012-10-18T11:29:30.023-07:00I just found this blog...

I can't wait to try this recipe. I think I might try to serve it with a thin sour cream on the side to garnish and without the heavy cream. <br /><br />Thanks again!Elizabeth- Letters from a Small Statehttp://blog.elizabethhoward.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-89772550851758336132012-09-12T20:46:14.144-07:002012-09-12T20:46:14.144-07:00I make this recipe ALL THE TIME but we add in carr...I make this recipe ALL THE TIME but we add in carrots, spinach and provolone cheese (in addition to the heavy cream) it makes it a million times tastier!Sunny Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10209830321098640943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-29706478588551928482011-10-15T18:57:15.018-07:002011-10-15T18:57:15.018-07:00Cooking this in the morning!Cooking this in the morning!Rob Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05966838912610867720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-87691109892758712052010-11-23T09:16:09.474-08:002010-11-23T09:16:09.474-08:00I actually made it the day before I needed it, tra...I actually made it the day before I needed it, transfered to a pot, stored it in refrig, regheated the next day and then added cream.

I found it was MUCH better with the cream. And the texture was way better after blending. I tried to just mash it with something so I wouldn't have to get something else dirty, but it definitely was better after blending.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638126242764449416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-66451169383186580872009-03-25T10:42:00.000-07:002009-03-25T10:42:00.000-07:00I have to say, I just saw your recipe for this, an...I have to say, I just saw your recipe for this, and it's missing a key ingredient - kielbasa! My husband is German and his mother gave us her recipe for potato-leek soup, and it's almost exactly the same, except with kielbasa! It adds that extra oomph... You cut the kielbasa up in to small chunks and saute it with the leeks until the leeks are all kielbasa-y and dump it into the crock pot...
