I love making beef stew in the crock pot
I would love to try this soup, but can I use 1% milk instead of cream or maybe 5% cream?
I haven’t tried it, but I bet it would work. You could always test it out first on a small bowl before you add it to the whole batch, to see if it’s good. The soup would be good without the dairy, if you want to skip it all together. 🙂
Nothing better than soups and stews in winter…..love the crock pot!
