"my mom got this recipe from a friend at work and made it last night. tried it today and it was awesome. very nutrient rich and low in fat and calories. had the luck of acquiring part of a croissant with swiss cheese and caramelized onions to dip in it. not too shabby."

This soup is absolutely delicious. I followed this recipe almost exactly but also added garlic (two cloves, minced)--it would probably also be good without, but I'm a big garlic fan. :) I like the subtle sweet/savory mix as well as the gorgeous color. It looked even better with a dollop of plain yoghurt on top and sprinkled with some chili flakes. I'll try to take a picture when we have the leftovers! Thanks for an extremely simple, great-tasting dish!
