Those hand blenders you can put right in the pot work great for these kinds of soups!

Here in France I even have the ingredients, how come you can't find them wherever you are? When I read these recipes I immediately thought of CA cuisine. Yes the food in France is great but I do miss the simplicity of CA food.
