great recipe! thanks for sharing -
Love this soup, but the taste is quite unique, so I don't think it's for everyone. If you like your soups creamy, I have tried replacing the 2 c stock with 1 c stock and 1 c buttermilk (use a little less lemon juice if you are worried about sourness) and it's excellent.
