Greeks refer to this spread, which is similar to tzatziki and made up of cheese and hot peppers, as tyrokafteri. It’s simple to make and perfect. Take pleasure in with toast.

Talk about an easy delicious comfort food recipe, this is it! I did make a 1/2 recipe of Bisquick dumpling with a little sage added to the dumplings in the soup. So yummy, I ready to make it again!
It really need salt and extra cream but good basic start l. You will need to add the flavor with salt and pepper.
It is a wonderful recipe! I couldn’t find just regular light cream and used Italian seeet cream instead and it tasted amazing!
I sautéed a mirapoix (celery, carrot, onion) in the butter for thr roux. Otherwise followed the recipe. Very good!
It does have a velvety texture indeed; however it had no flavor. I won’t make this again.
Love this simple, fabulous soup! I sprinkle celery salt in as well, and add 2 cups cooked rice. (Trader Joe’s microwave Jasmine-3 minutes) My husband LOVES this with toasted French bread and butter.
A very simple and quick soup that is different and very tasty. Very creamy and it does reheat well. Makes a very quick evening meal with all common kitchen ingredients.
Just my favorite soup, ever!
I added some onion powder, a good bit of paprika, some black pepper and just a little Italian seasoning. I used one cup of half and half rather than 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of cream. I thought it was absolutely delicious. Velvety is the perfect word!
Really good!! Added noodles ( had them) and some canned carrots. Liked that it did not make a huge pot. Will be a soup that will stay in my recipe box!! Already recommended to family!!
This soup really does have the most velvety texture. I am going to use the base for my other creamy soups. However, it was too bland for us. So I added some garlic and poultry seasoning. I also added celery, onions, and carrots for flavor and served it with a crusty garlic Italian loaf.
This is the EXACT recipe once used by “The Tea Room” at L. S. Ayres Department Store in downtown Indianapolis. My mother used to take me there, when I was a little girl in the 60’s, and this was my very favorite soup of all time. Now, a restaurant in the Castleton area of Indy (George’s Neighboorhood Bar & Grill) serves nearly the same thing and it’s absolutely, wonderfully delicious!
this is pretty amazing nothing but rave reviews. I doubled the recipe and made a few additions such a as adding vegetables and few seasonings. turned out to be a great pot pie filling! yum
I’ve been looking for Chicken Velvet Soup and finally decided I would try making it. The velvety texture of this soup makes it a winner. I did add celery carrots and onions to the soup to make it a little more hearty along with garlic powder, salt, and white pepper. My family loved it.
I wish I could say that this was FABULOUS!….but it was just meh. The texture is truly velvety, however the flavor is lacking…and I used homemade stock. I would saute some onions or garlic and then blend them into the soup, or maybe add a finisher of sherry or truffle oil. The kids added salt and pepper with some scallions. Some would call this simple, we called it bland.
