One serving contains 175 calories, 4g of protein, and 14g of fat. It works well as an inexpensive side dish for Autumn. If you have olive oil, half-and-half, garnish: seared sea scallop, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it.

Broth

Using an immersion blender or traditional blender, puree until very smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. (If using a traditional blender, vent it either by removing the lid's pop-out center or by lifting one edge of the lid. Drape the blender canister with a kitchen towel. To 'clean' the canister, pour in a little half-and-half, blend briefly, then add to the soup.)

Return to pan (or a soup pot); add enough half-and-half so the mixture is souplike, yet thick enough to float garnish. Taste, and add salt and pepper if needed.
