This was excellent! I've been looking for a new cold appetizer soup because my friends are getting way too familiar with my gazpacho! This fit the bill perfectly, and was easy to make besides! It was smooth and creamy with a wonderful taste. It looked beautiful in the little clear cups and tasting spoons - sorry I didn't catch a photo for you...but I will next time. Thanks for posting this yummy little beauty!
