This was EXCELLENT and I have to comment on the colour! It came out this absolutely beautiful hue of green. I made it the day before company came (because soup is ALWAYS better the day after so the flavours meld together) and it was a hit. Thanks for a keeper! BTW, at the last minute, I added a bit of cream to it (because I had some left over from making raspberry sherbet) and it just rounded out the texture perfectly. Thanks for a keeper!

I am a mother of two wonderful boys! We live in a small rural community in Indiana that we love. I love cooking, especially entertaining for family and friends. I collect cookbooks and found RecipeZaar by accident online looking for recipes. I was hooked immediately! I tell all of my family and friends about this awesome site. I cannot understand picky eaters or those who won't try something new??? My husband and I enjoy cooking together and trying new recipes.
