We really liked this recipe. The only change I made was to use evaporated milk instead of cream. Thanx for sharing!

    Sorry, but I found this had too much onion and was still kind of bland for me. I didn't add ginger and used half-and-half plus lemon yogurt for the whipping cream.

    Yummy and simple! I added 1/4 tsp of nutmeg and left out the pepper. Substituted whipping cream with plain yogurt...I ate the first bowl without any yogurt and it still tasted yummy. Nice cold soup!

    Luscious soup. I made it in a slow cooker in 6-hours. I added a tsp of orange zest and some grated nutmeg. And stirred in sour cream, because I didn't have whipping cream. A dusting of fresh nutmeg in each bowl took this soup almost to gourmet status. This was wonderful. Thanks Mary.
