Ice cold you get a phantastic taste of this soup. To avoid being too liquid i add some gelatine after the cooking phase. Then its a little creamy on the spoon and makes the perfect consistence. A little warning about your teeth, because the soup demineralises the enamel.You feel a roughness with your tounge. Give time to remineralise , eating no further acidous dish containing vinegar or lemon at the same time.
