Delicious and simple, this soup is the perfect winter comfort food. Top it with a dollop of sour cream or a dash of heavy cream and serve warm. —Christine @ Yum and in Love

Made it tonight. Was surprised that it needed to simmer so long, but it was worth it! My husband and I both loved the subtle, savory and slightly smoky flavor. Used tangy Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Served it with squares of scallion focaccia from our neighborhood’s 109-year old focaccia bakery, followed by a radicchio and goat cheese salad. Thank you for this recipe!
