My ex-wife gifted us a bag of great-tasting pink grapefruit several weeks ago, & this wonderful recipe is one in which I used them! Makes for a wonderful soup & one that, because it's so unusual, I'll be making another time especially for company! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

This is a delicious soup -- it's silky and creamy, with little bit of tang to it. DH asked me what seasoning I used when making it and he was so surprised when I said the "zing" was from grapefruit juice. I served the soup with roast chicken and broccoli, and we all really enjoyed it!
