Caramelized shallots.
Heavy cream.
Listen, winter is coming and we need to be ready to hibernate with a few extra pounds. Right?
I've checked out Giada de Laurentiis' Giada's Kitchen from the library four times; this weekend marked the time that I finally just bought a copy of it for myself. Now I have access to this recipe whenever I want! Actually, so do you, with the help of the Internet.
That's beside the point.
This soup will make you a believer of purchasing cookbooks instead of looking at recipes online. It's thick and creamy, with a rich combination of garlic and sage. Whip it up and serve with a crusty baguette. You won't be sorry.
Giada's recipe can be found on the Food Network site, and the only change I made was using a hand blender instead of a real blender. Eat up!
