    I love this soup!!! I've made a similar recipe before. I found if you add some sweet potato to it, its a bit creamier. Also, adding vegetable broth instead of water, or half water half broth increases the flavor a bit. One more trick I learned is to add some orange juice to it, but this adds sugar and calories. It works better with the juice with pulp. I only used about a quarter of a cup in a large pot and it does give the soup a slight tang. Enjoy!

    Glad you all enjoyed the recipe....I will also try those additions. It's definitely just a basic recipe that can for sure be played with, but it's a great base to start with. :)
