  • “We had this soup for lunch on Sunday. It is very refreshing and light.The combination of ingredients compliment each other perfectly. The thought of a yoghurt soup put my son off from tasting it at frist.BUT after that first sip he liked it.A great recipe Jan S. This recipe will be added to our summer collection of goodies.”
