  Very easy to make recipe. I served it before a chicken main course and it went well. Lovely, delicate flavour.

  I thought this recipe was very easy to make and tasted beautifully fresh and spring/summer like as the taste is quite different to any other soup I've had. I ate it with and without the goats cheese crouton and I have to say, I preferred it with as the flavours set each other off very well.

  Amazing soup! Extremely easy to make, beautiful and delicious. I would recommend not being too stingy with the goats cheese croutons, as they really add a lot to the dish. Bon appetit! x

  I thought this was nice but not 5 star. The croutons and goats cheese were OK but I think you could achieve the same flavour by stirring parmesan into the soup.

  Loved this soup. Added some rocket that I had left over. My children thought it looked grim but very quickly changed their minds when they tasted it!

  really tasty low fat recipe and watercress has long been thought of as a lung tonic so this was great for my dad who is very chesty at the moment, was very creamy and fresh although no dairy on sight!
