Recipe Review

This is a remarkably pretty soup to look at -- lovely green color with long thin strips of julienned zucchini peel arranged on top of the soup. And the flavors are very clean and subtle as water rather than chicken stock is used. Still ... Soupereasy and I wanted a bit more oomph to the soup from a flavor standpoint so we added some lemon juice which was nice. But next time we would use the chicken stock.

Two nights later, I served this as an amuse bouche in cordial glasses and it was really nice.

Gorgeous - and something I'd like to try. I can also imagine stirring in a spoonful of yogurt. I love basil!

If there is a creamy element to anything I am there.

You know I think you might -- based on your comments and reviews - love the cold blackberry soup I reviewed a while back -- blackberries, lemon, a few cloves and a cinnamon stick -- really good. I make enough to do small bowls with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert ... and then add some buttermilk the next morning for smoothies. I've probably made it four times in the last month and am whipping up another batch for the week-end. Works equally well with fresh or frozen berries.

Thank you! I am a sucker for a pretty presentation and couldn't resist making this when I saw the picture in the magazine. I am just amazed that -- for once -- my picture wasn't too dark to use.
