Soup Emergency - Cream or no cream??

Posted by mangiatoilgatto, October 28, 2009 at 7:31 PM

Hi all. Just made a big pot of mushroom soup based loosely on the recipe in the Balthazar cookbook. The recipe calls for mixing in about a cup of cream at the end but I think it may assume that the soup will be served up then without leftovers. I made a big batch (something about the cold and rain drove me to it) and plan on having enough for 3 or 4 days. My inclination, having made the soup but not having added the cream, is to leave it as is and mix in about a tablespoon of cream with each bowl before serving. Otherwise it would go in and sit and be reheated later (just once).

Sorry to ramble. The question is whether it really makes a difference. If I can just add it all in now, I'd rather go for it, but I've heard reheating that stuff is less than ideal.

Thanks in advance.
