I made this recipe this morning and it is delicious and very nutritious. It taste very good with pumpkin zucchini bread or Chocolate zucchini bread. This soup can be used as a snack or desert. It is very healthy And WLS friendly if you skip the sugar. You really don't need to add the sugar because everything else is sweet.
