This is so refreshing and light! I LOVED the relish on top. I have been giving this recipe link out to a ton of people. They are all excited to make it for themselves! Great spring/ summer soup to dress up any table.

I served this at a dinner party last night and received rave reviews. I found the toppings sank - except for the parsey and nuts but that was not a bad thing - eash bowl received equal amounts of tomato, green onion etc. Eating outside with a full moon over the harbor helped the ambience.
