At a Christmas party I went to the hostess served Cream of Tomato soup with
a swirl of creme freche (sp?) on it. When serving the soup into individual
soup bowls, she also dropped a dollop of something red in first then swirled
the creme freche on top; then she popped a cracker pastry cutout of a
Christmas tree on top of that . It was excellent.
