OK, this recipe was totally yummy, but what a pain in the butt! I just finished my 2nd bowl and I loved it, but it ended up taking 2 hours to make it, a whole mess of dishes, and I'm the only one eating it! Oh well, it still tastes delicious. :) Along with the other reviewers, I changed a couple of things: 1. Tossed in beet greens and 3 beets to stockpot 2. Reserved 1 T butter from 1/3 c for mashed potatoes and used 2% milk instead of heavy cream for potatoes. 3. Deglazed saute pan with water and added it to stockpot to thin soup out. Like I said, it was delicious, but very labor intensive.
