I thoroughly enjoyed this soup! Made as directed, only I used dried coriander in place of fresh cilantro due to grocery logistics. I always try to use fresh over dried if given the option! I also found this on the lid of a Dannon yogurt and it intrigued me enough to want to try it! Thanks, The Amaze-Ing Me for getting it posted!

I pureed the soup with the yogurt only then garnished each serving with fresh cilantro and fresh parsley. I lightly toasted the 'pepitas' in a small amount of oil and added a pinch of smoked Spanish paprika. Orange fleshed "yams" were used for sweet potatoes. (I wasn't sure which were intended for the recipe-the orange or white fleshed.) Olive oil for canola. Very easy to make and good flavor. Adjust seasoning before serving. Thanks! PS This is from the Dannon company because I, too discovered the recipe on the inside lid of a container of plain yogurt.
