Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I made this soup yesterday morning to take to share with my group. I halved the recipe (we are a very small group, LOL) but I forgot to halve the tomatoes, which meant that they were rather overpowering. To combat that I added extra lemon juice. Despite that it was a lovely soup and was very well received. The combination of spices really worked well as did the mint and lemon combo. Next time I shall try to follow the recipe exactly and I also plan to try out the other versions too. Thanks Chupa.
