Soup was excellent. I read the above review and used the suggested spices. Apart that I added lemon juice and some grated cheese (Pecorino)once it was ready blended, due to the fact that I used Soya Cream and it tends to be a bit sweet. I will make this soup again and again. - 22 Jun 2013 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Add a touch of chilli powder, ground coriander and cumin to warm it up a touch. Less than 1/4 of a tsp each. Otherwise Nice. - 04 Aug 2011 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Delicious, made it twice already. Second time I used yellow courgettes and lime zest for contrast. So easy! - 05 Nov 2016 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
