    Pg. 51. My husband loved this soup and I liked it. Given how aromatic it was while cooking, I didn't feel the flavors came through in the tasting. It felt a bit flat for me, despite the addition of lime juice and more salt. The crispy onions and the mint were really key to elevating this beyond ordinary. And, while I didn't find it exquisite, I have to love how healthy it is.
