This is a unique soup -- it was very warming and filling. I also subbed lowfat sour cream for the heavy cream, and I added some green chili paste and a little paprika in addition to the other spices. I like a little tartness, so I added about a tablespoon or so of fresh lemon juice at the end of cooking. This would have been great with warm grilled pita bread on the side!
