Cream can break at high temperature. You see that separation in soups that include cream. It’s cream breaking down. Really, it will need a blonde roux to keep it all together or the cream reduced to thicken. The recipe is not a very good technique in the cooking process. Also, depends on if you like thicker soups or watery. I would have added some cream cheese to thicken if you want to keep flour out of it.

Agree about the cream breaking and the blond roux. Otherwise immersion blend and let cool a little then finish with cream stirred in and heat to taste, no?

As far as the recipe goes theres no leeks so it is not a great soup recipe imo.

Do u feel this way about all cruciferous veg?

I had to look that up to see what else was in that category.

Broccoli and cauliflower are inedible just disgusting. Not a fan of kale or arugula the rest that I'm familiar with are great. Radishes are a must in any savory salad.

Can you imagine how much less interesting the world would be without horseradish or wasabi?

Indeed.

Cabbages? Brussels sprouts?

I eat radishes like popcorn.

they all make me fart

Then fart like a madman.

My mom was a great cook, but she had a few blind spots. Boiled veggies, hated boiled cabbage, b sprouts and asparagus as a kid, love them now because I know how to make them.

I've never heard of that, but it doesn't surprise me, radishes are the miracle veggie. To really enjoy them, try them with cinnamon rolls.

I don't need that recipe. I put so much butter on my broccoli when I eat it, it's already like a soup.

We make that soup almost the exact same way Lou. It' really easy with an immersion blender, definitely get one if you don't have one. We also make cream of spinach and cream of carrot with the same recipe.
I think you add the cream after the other because of you have to heat it to a boil first (not good for cream and requires constant stirring) and it's probably not good to use the immersion blender with the cream already in. It's no big deal to add it in near the end and stir it in until it heats back up. It's easy to regulate the level of thickness by adding more or less too.

Edit: If you make cream of carrot, stir in a little honey at the end.
