This recipe is such a delicious and satisfying soup to make. I enjoy preparing the fresh ingredients to use in it, and once the prep work is done, the soup is a breeze to make!
I like to serve this soup with a hard crusty sourdough bread, but you could also use saltine crackers. See my recipes for Tangy Sourdough Bread or Rustic Sourdough Baguettes.

Nutrition
I like to use condensed can milk instead of milk/cream because it is less likely to curdle and are easy to have on hand.
Hi Heather. That’s an interesting idea to use condensed milk. Does it add much sweetness to the soup? Perhaps evaporated milk might be another possibility. Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your thoughts.
I’m thinking Heather meant she uses evaporated milk not condensed milk.
Probably so, but I’d hate to second guess someone.
