"Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly except for two things: I only let it simmer for 20 minutes, instead of 30 (I was short on time) and I didn't have any heavy cream on hand so I used 1/2 cup of..."

I'll never throw my radish tops out again! This is now one of my husband's favorite soups - mine, too!"
