This soup is easy peasy. The only special thing you need is an immersion blender (something I could not live without!)
I suppose you could do it the old fashioned way in a blender but after a blender explosion that involved 3rd degree burns and ceiling stains, I generally stay away from putting hot things in my beloved Vitamix.
This was one of those use what you have soups that turned out so good I had to blog it. Pureed soups can be a bit of a hit or miss with me I find they can go from gourmet to baby food mush pretty easily so I always garnish them up really nicely to add interest to my palate and eye.
This time I indulged with bacon, pine nuts, parsley and cashew feta. I ate two bowls to myself and by the time my family got done, there were no leftovers to forget about in my fridge. Success!
If you want a hot, creamy, nourishing bowl of soup on your table tonight, give this one a try!
