    Next time I think I'll leave out the OJ - I found it overwhelmed the other flavours. Otherwise, yummy - good comfort food! - 3/14/07

    Tastes like pureed carrots. - 9/7/08

    I love this soup. The first time I tried it (a cafe where I worked served it), I couldn't believe soup could taste so elegant! I like to garnish it with toasted sesame seeds. - 4/11/07
