Author Notes
I came up with this beautiful recipe one wintery day, after I came back from the Farmer's Market in my neighborhood (West Hollywood). When I looked at the produce I got I immediately felt like making a soup, a velvety one with rich flavors. I know this soup is also amazing with butter but because of allergy reasons, I cooked it with olive oil. It was delightful either way. —Shelly's Humble Kitchen
