Second culinary deed done. Followed directions as given... though used roasted red potatoes; decided to add a modest portion of batonnet-cut carrots for color/texture along with a teaspoon of sage infused olive oil with butter while braising the veggies; and a sprinkling of shredded six Italian cheese blend and some coarse ground lemon pepper shortly before serving (since the items were handy). Result was outstanding. Rank both of your soups 8-9+ on anybody's ten scale!

Thanks again, Skeeter.

No worries - pleasure. Sounds like you're no dunce in the galley either and I'll definately do it with the cheese blend next time.

Take care

Postscript: Skeeter, may freeze well as you suggested... but have discovered it constitutes

a remarkable base for the addition of leftovers, specifically broccoli and turkey medallions.
