Made this for dinner tonight. It was delicious! I garnished is with chopped fresh mint. It was light but hearty at the same time. Great recipe - many thanks.

I just made this soup (with a few changes for lack of ingredients) and it is delicious! I used onion instead of scallion, olive oil instead of butter, and left out the dried mint.
