Brighten blustery gray days with steaming bowlfuls of soup that's the color of California sunshine. Jane Shapton really wowed our taste panel with her velvety, rich, and slightly sweet creation! This low-fat recipe's a keeper.

Made this soup for my son when he had tonsillitis and he totally loved it! Easy on his throat with fun flavours...I did add some crushed sun dried tomatoes for a fuller flavour.

This is very easy to make and tasty. I think I would prefer it with veggie broth. The chicken broth was a bit overpowering. All and all good recipe.
