This was good but not great. I really wanted to love it but the flavors were just okay. The best part of it was that it sorted tasted very much like fall. It’s a heavy soup so it’s easy to just eat a little with a nice piece of crusty bread and have it warm up your stomach in cold weather but on the other hand the heaviness of the cream is a little difficult to make this dish enjoyable after 3/4 of the bowl.
