I love this soup! Have made it several times. I see that a lot of reviewers seem to have equated "smoked sausage" with regular sausage. It isn't the same. Smoked sausage is like kielbasa. So I have made this often with turkey smoked sausage to cut down the fat content a little. I also have used regular milk instead of cream (and have used cream as well) and you don't notice too much difference in taste. The only complaint my family has had is that it is too salty (without adding additional salt). Since I don't ever have chicken stock base, I usually use chicken broth. It could be that this has more sodium than the stock base? I intend to try it next time with low sodium chicken broth. But I could eat this soup for every meal it is so delicious! Really tastes like a restaurant soup!

Yum! Didn't have cream so subbed 1% milk and it was still great.

These rolls are fantastic! Like others, I didn't have a bread machine-- I started with the warm milk and water, added the yeast and mixed. Then added all the other ingredients and mixed in my KitchenAid on 2 for about 8 minutes. (I left out the onion powder, added sauteed chopped onions on the tops of half of them before baking) I let the dough rise in a slightly warm oven for 1 hour, then continued with step 2. They took slightly longer to bake for me to get golden, as I use stoneware pans. About 30 minutes. But they were "better than store bought!" according to my 9 year old!
