Soup Making Tips -
Creamier Soups

	To make your soup creamier, you can add cream, pureed stale bread, plain yogurt or ground nuts. For the nuts, you will need to crumble them until they are about to become a paste. Alternatively, you can add a thickener like corn starch, pureed potatoes, cream cheese, cream of rice or sour cream.
