    i liked it as a soup but loved it when i addedlots of garlich(i am a garlich fan)and reduced it rightdown,purreed it all after the onions were in and had it like a dip similar to humus.it was also nice that way as a sauce accoplishment to baked fish.just added a bit of coriander to it for the fish . - 8/15/09
