Preparation:
* This is where I ad-libed. I added two crushed chipotles up and deleted the jalapeño and cayenne
In a large saucepan, sauté onion and garlic in plain butter until soft, but not brown. Add everything else (except cream and sherry). Cover, bring to a boil, and then simmer for 45 minutes.
Puree all of soup in a blender. Strain through cheesecloth (I didn't have any solids because I blendered it to death!) Return soup to pot and add the cream. Heat through till hot but not boiling.
Once it's in bowls, pour an once or 2 of dry sherry in and top with the garnish of your choic |
