Part 6/7:
As our taste tester suggests, this soup strikes a fine balance between creamy and thin—a delightful characteristic that complements the substantial bites of noi. Feedback from the taste test revealed a preference for the thin broth, although you could opt for a thicker version by incorporating instant mashed potato flakes if desired.
This soup has already garnered a spot in the cook’s top three favorites, with Panera's Broccoli Cheddar Soup holding its number one place. The taste tester rated this soup a solid 9 out of 10 on a new scale designed to distinguish between exceptional and merely great dishes. The creamy texture paired with the flecks of fresh basil truly elevate the tasting experience.
