Mangospacho

Submitted by PaulaG

"A friend of mine made this for a dinner party. It is a very refreshing chilled soup that is equally good with fresh or believe it or not canned mango. The advantage of the canned mango is you don't have to peel it nor cut it off the seed. The recipe comes from Royal Caribbean International cookbook."

I could eat the whole soup! But won`t! Very very very good, cooling, refreshing. I use lime flavored setzer n place of the ginger ale, skipped the sugar, used 5 mangos, and 1/2 of a burpless cucumber unpeeled. Added fresh grated ginger! Thanks for posting this delish soup!
