Tips from Chefs to Chefs
01. Adding Cream to a vegetable soup greatly enhances the flavour as well as giving a smooth and shiny finish. The sauce should be kept at a warm temperature, however, as cooling will result in a fine skin forming which looks less pleasant.
02. Cooking cream makes for a richer, smoother soup. It mellows the taste and is also a good flavour enhancer.
