So Good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't follow the recipe exactly because I try to use what I have on hand. Instead of using scallions, I used 1/4 of a... sweet onion and instead of dill, I used about 1/4 cup of cilantro. Since my fiance has angina, I always skip the salt and use a salt substitute called mushroom powder that can be bought in asian markets. This soup was so awesome! My fiance loved it as well. It was a bit thin like others had said in previous reviews but it didn't bother me a bit. Thanks Ellie for a recipe I will make again and again. It's a perfect soup for these hot Texas summers.

Surprise for the taste buds!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was just finishing this recipe off when my best friend surprised me with a visit. I served it with whold grain French... bread and chardonnay. What a surprise for the taste buds! It was tangy, cool and so, so light. My BFF won't make anything with more than 5 ingredients, so she left with recipe in hand to add it to her arsenal. I plan to try it again with a Greek spin and use mint. The dill was a nice touch and not too strong. I left off the tomatos, but the olive oil made the texture quite silky. In a thermos this will stay cool until lunch time. Also good as an appetizer before dinner. I couldn't believe how easy it was to make! Paula Settles Washington, DCRead more

Add your own touches and it's perfect
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I added onion and garlic powder, plus lots of salt and pepper. It definitely needs some kind of spicing. Overall, it's very... simple and delicious, plus it's healthy! Would also probably be good with sour cream as a garnish.Read more

ho-hum, cu-cumb
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

i felt like it was missing something. the missus didn't eat it, suggesting that it seemed like something that would be good... with something else (like a dipping sauce). i would tend to agree. it was also a bit runny - the tomatoes struggled to stay on top.Read more

So-so
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I found this soup to be rather ho-hum however my boyfriend said he really enjoyed it. I added slices of avocado to mine as... well but I still felt as though it was missing something and needed a more interesting flavor.Read more
