I happen to love cream Sherry and prefer the touch of sweetness it gives to this soup, but medium-dry also adds a dash of sophistication. Finished with a squeeze of lime and served with wedges of warm corn bread, this soup makes a satisfying weeknight meal.
Cooks' note:
Soup can be made ahead and chilled, uncovered, until completely cooled, then covered up to 5 days, or frozen 3 months. Reheat over low heat, thinning with water as necessary.
