Favorite cream based soups?

CleoKitty · December 2010

I make a lot of soup but they're always tomato/broth based- I don't think I've ever made a milk based soup in my life.

Anyhow, I have 1/2 gallon of whole milk that needs to be used ASAP (unopened, used by date was yesterday.) Thought maybe I'd make some sort of potato soup or broccoli cheese soup or something similiar for dinner tonight to use it up but have no idea where to even begin.

Suggestions? Favorite recipes?

This recipe is excellent and will definitely use up all your milk. (sorry, can't make it clicky)

My favorites are knoeple soup, potato soup, corn chowder.

You could make homemade pudding. YUM!

Ha! I just did and it's in the fridge cooling right now. (I actually had 1.5 gallons that needed used- finished off one 1/2 gallon with the pudding, now need to use the other 1/2 gallon in a soup for dinner.)

This won't use a lot of it, but is my favorite soup with milk. We love it with grilled veggie paninis. Take about 6-8 zucchnini and chop up and 1 yellow onion chopped. Put in big soup pot and sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons hot curry powder, salt and pepper. Cover with chicken or veggie broth and simmer until tender. Puree (I use immersion blender for this). Stir in 1 cup whole milk (can also use half and half or whatever) and sprinkle with parmesean cheese. It is seriously amazing!
