Wow this was great! The boiling and preparation method brings the flavours together beautifully and it also makes a great breakfast you can prepare the night before. I used a plain Greek yoghurt which worked really well because there is plenty of flavour in the soup that mingles with it.

Oh my goodness!!! What a wonderful soup!!!! Such a cool refreshing dish for these hot summer days. Made exactly as directed with the exception of...I didn't have vanilla yogurt, so I used plain yogurt...and it worked fine. Thanks for the great recipe.
