A good recipe for Creme du Barry soup?

I used to go to a cafe that made fantastic creamy, thick, tasty Creme du Barry soup. I had a go at making it one christmas %26amp; everyone liked it... but it just wasnt the same. The cafe one had a thick white almost sauce like consistency.





Anyone know a good recipe?

This is a great recipe, usually when i make it I forget one ingredient and it still taste good, that might be why yours did not have the colour and consistency that you got from the Cafe you had previously eaten it at.
