This soup has a lot of flavor. It was easy to prepare and the directions were very clear. We especially liked the hint of curry, which was tantalizing. I think that the curry is what gave the soup the extra depth of flavor that we enjoyed. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful soup recipe for a cool afternnoon. I can't think of anything that I would do differently!
