Definitely an interesting soup, & the preparation was made easy since I have hyssop (along with a number of other herbs said to have magical properties)! Also used some of the shredded chicken breast that I always have in the freezer! This isn't something I'd normally have on the table, but it was an adventure making & serving it, maybe because I've always enjoyed the Ren Faire thing, & this complemented that event very nicely! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Everyday Is a Holiday tag]
