    This is the easiest starter I've ever made and probably the most successful! I must admit I did warm it up as I find cold soup a bit difficult to get my head around but everyone loved and wanted the recipe!

    Quick, easy, filling and absolutely delicious. I too had this warm. I'll wait until the summer finally kicks in before trying it cold.

    My husband didn't like the look of this but was surprised by how good it was. Was asked to make it again the following day.
