This creamy soup is definitely worth every minute you spend cooking it. Use either your blender or your food processor to create a smooth puree. You might want to puree small portions at a time to avoid overflowing hot soup onto your counter or yourself.
With any cream soup, just be sure that when you return the pureed soup back to the pan to heat again, set your burner on extremely low heat to avoid scorching or curdling the cream.
This soup is pretty fancy and could easily be served for any holiday meal. It's certainly good enough for company!
