So easy + great flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is EASY. Saw it on Dinner Impossible + just had to try it. Perhaps the best part is you make it ahead of time,... since it needs to be served CHILLED. Use Creme Fraiche if at all possible! You could substitute sour cream or plain yogurt, but it is SO EXCELLENT with the Creme Fraiche. The flavor of this soup is complex with a lot of layers. The white pepper seemed an odd addition to me, but it really does bring out more flavor. Probably not a big winner for kids. But, for entertaining adults, definitely think about using small demitasse glasses or something similarly small: this soup is really filling and a "typical" soup serving will quickly fill you up. Also great as a leftover for breakfast!Read more
