I love this version

I have looked for an easy version of this recipe since I had a sample at a grocery store. Finally, I found it in this recipe! I cut down a bit on the lemon juice and it was absolutely wonderful. This one goes in my favorites category.

Fantastic!

This soup was great and easy, even the picky 5 yr old ate it. I added asparagus tips to put some "green" in it. They were a great sensation!!

A Good Summer Soup

After reading some reviews, I cut down on lemon juice to just 2 tablespoon and added very chopped up pieces of celery to the soup. It turned out to be a refreshing soup for the long, hot summer in southern California. I served it with sweet bread rolls.

loved it

I took it to a bible study and everyone loved it, some even asked to take some home! Very yummy. I used dried basil, followed the conversion-1 tablespoon of fresh for 1 tsp of dried, and it was great!
