- Wrap parsley, cloves, and bay leaf in cheesecloth and tie into a bundle with string to make a bouquet garni.

- Purée soup in small batches (4 or 5) in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids), transferring to a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan. Stir in cream, pepper, and salt to taste and reheat soup over moderate heat, stirring occasionally.

[email protected]This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I added some extra milk to thin it out and it was much better. I also think it would be good with some crusty bread or crackers on the side.
