This soup is so versatile. You can add different vegetables, meats, or cheeses to it to change up the flavor.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of crème fraîche. It turned out great!

This soup is a great way to use up leftover ham. I added some diced ham to the soup and it was delicious.

The soup was a bit bland for my taste, but it was still a good base to work with. I added some extra seasonings and it turned out great.
