Love this tasty soup! It is out of the ordinary, but really delicious and so worth trying! I usually add the tomato and lettuce as a garnish rather than mixing into the soup while cooking. Try it with a side of toasted sourdough bread - AMAZING!! Thank you Ms Paula!

Great Soup idea, it's only Unhealthy if you eat this way exclusively! Our family doctor once told me expcet for medical reasons, before you start nixing foods Make Sure that there isn't something you should be adding. This soup is great for once in a while or a special get together.

Servings

I can't for the life of me see how this serves 8. There's only 4 cups of liquid in it.

When she made this dish, she served it as an appetizer but the servings would definitley go down if you are using as a main dish.
