mmm...soup

A few years ago a very good friend of mine made this soup for me.

It is beyond delish.

I then lost the recipe for a couple of years...but found it again yesterday when I was going through an old stack of papers.

If you like soup...you will love this.

If you like Cilantro...you will REALLY love this.  Trust me. 

Cream of Cilantro soup

• 1bunch fresh cilantro
• 1 (32 oz) container swansons chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 (8 oz) package fat-free cream cheese
• 1 (8oz) container light sour cream
• 1 garlic clove minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• cilantro for garnish

directions

• remove stems from cilantro and chop chop leaves
• in a blender...blend 1 cup of broth with the bunch of cilantro
• in a pot, melt butter over medium heat
• wisk in flour
• add remaining chicken broth
• mix until smooth
• boil for 1 minute
• stir in cilantro mixture from blender
• add cream cheese, sour cream and the rest of the dry ingredients
• wisk until not lumpy
• simmer 15 minutes
• look like a hero!

mmm...I love it so much...I need to make another pot.  Mine is already gone.

So basically I just ate a stick of cream cheese and a container of sour cream in 24 hours.

Yay me.

Oh and the bread.  Oops.
