Comments: Bret has said for years that this soup is one of his favorites, but I was too intimidated to try. However, after digging for a couple of recipes, I was pleased to see that the directions were actually very simple. So I made my own blend of the various recipes and after all was said and done, I was thrilled with the outcome! Not only was it delicious, but it was so easy to make! The presentation even seemed quite gourmet, so it could be a great dish for entertaining. (My poor photography skills provide no justice for the elegance within the bowl.)
