This was really good and really rich as it is finished with cream and butter. It has more going on (sage, rosemary, porcini, garlic) than the Julia version I made a few weeks ago. Julia's is lighter and tastes more home-made, while this version is more gourmet-y.

Deb at Smitten Kitchen modified the Balthazar recipe some (e.g. used thyme rather than rosemary, etc.) but I stuck with the Balthazar version this time around.

Served with a salad of romaine, apple and aged cheddar with an apple cider vinaigrette based on one in Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics.

Wine was a glass of Cotes du Rhone that went well with the soup.
