Ingredients

Scale

  6. Pour in the cream: Lower the heat and slowly pour in the heavy cream. Stir well.
  7. Season and serve: Taste the soup, adding salt, pepper, and nutmeg as desired.
  8. Garnish with parsley or Parmesan just before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
