Cream soup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Cream soups)

A cream soup is a soup prepared using cream, light cream, half and half, or milk as a key ingredient.[1] Sometimes the dairy product is added at the end of the cooking process, such as after a cream soup has been puréed.[2]

A cream soup will often have a soup base, prepared with ingredients such as onion, celery, garlic powder, celery salt, butter, bacon drippings, flour, salt, pepper, paprika, milk, light cream, and chicken stock or vegetable stock.[3] Various vegetables or meats are then added to the base. Sometimes, leftover vegetables and meats are used in cream soups.[4]
