Good one BigJ! I will admit I did use a little less sugar and didn't use the the cream ( diet reasons). The soup has a refreshing taste and I had it with a big salad and a piece of crusty bread. I love the ginger in the recipe- it gives it that little extra zing! The recipe is simple to make and would make a great starter for a nice dinner. I will definitely make this again! Thanks for posting!
