- 2 tablespoon flour
- 1 quart heavy cream

- Add the flour and mix.
- Add the heavy cream and Vermouth and allow soup to reduce over medium low heat.

Notes
- Do not substitute a red onion
- Do not use dry tarragon, must be fresh
- Be sure to use "Dry" Vermouth

- Best to add in the cheese crumbles after the soup cools for just a little bit so they don't melt in and disappear.
