- Original recipe used a roux of flour and butter to thicken; 1 c. whipping cream.
- fresh tarragon.* skip the celery and use all broccoflower* A little mushroom puree soup base* A quality curry pwdr.
- Serve 2 for main course; 4 or possibly 5 as soup course. Some may want to puree; we liked the coarse texture. "Addictive!"
