Notes
- Best with crusty bread for dipping.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for cream or use skim milk with a cornstarch slurry.
- If sun-dried tomatoes are oil-packed, drain some oil to reduce richness.
- Cream-based soups may thicken slightly after chilling; reheat gently and stir well.
- Gluten-free by nature; no gluten-containing ingredients required.
