I presume the double cream is added with the milk and chicken stock or is it kept until the end??
Lovely.Makes a nice starter. The second time I made some, I put a de-seeded red chilli in with the rest of the ingredients, (finely chopped and the pith removed) and a heaped tsp of dried parsely. This gave it a bit of bite and and colour. Very nice!!
