This is delicious! Even though we have a heat index of 105 degrees right now, this soup is still amazingly good. I am going to try it chilled too tomorrow for lunch, when it is really steaming hot outside!! I added the lemon zest when I added the broth and thyme....wasn't sure where to add that in. The thyme flavor was a bit strong, so I'll reduce it next time....otherwise this recipe was just perfect. Thanks for sharing! Made for Photo Tag!

This soup was outstanding! Enormously healthy and tasty to boot. Liked by the whole family. I will for sure be making this again. I made as directed, but used Greek yogurt instead of regular.
