NOTES : *To reduce fat content, use low fat creme fraiche or alternatively

thicken the soup by adding one boiled medium potato and blend. You can also

substitute the extra creme fraiche with oven toasted granary croutons. To make

the croutons simply cut a granary loaf into small cubes, brush lightly with

olive oil and toast in a hot oven until golden brown.
