    I made it as listed, but added an onion, and it was really good. Next time, I think I'll sub Greek Yogurt for the milk, and add some fresh herbs. - 10/21/10

    I am so not a soup eater and I loved this. I was a little confused about the blender bit though, maybe you should use more laymans terms! - 2/7/08
