You mention cream cheese in the directions but it is not listed in the ingredients??
ReplyDeleteThank you for bringing that to my attention, I updated the recipe above. It's supposed to be 6 oz. of cream cheese but you can add 8 oz to make it even richer. It's a delicious soup, I hope you enjoy it!
