This soup is delicious. I however, did NOT try it cold. I ate it warm and it was amazing.

This recipe was unfortunately a disappointment. I think it was the flavor of the sauce the chipotle chile came in that ruined the taste of this soup for me. I thought it may have been that it was cold rather than warm, but even after heating it up, I still didn't care for it.

This soup was the hit of our dinner party! We didn't have a chipotle chilie though, so we used 1/8 of a teaspoon of chipotle chilie spice and it worked out fine. I've been asked by our non-vegetarian guests to pass along the recipe. Highly recommended!
