cream soup

Rich dairy potage

Cream soup is a thick, smooth soup made with cream or milk as a base, often pureed with vegetables: cream of mushroom, cream of tomato, cream of broccoli.

The texture is velvety rather than brothy.

Canned cream soups double as cooking ingredients in American casseroles and comfort food recipes.
