Review for Cilantro and Squash Flower Soup
November 23, 2010
I made this last night. I couldn't believe how good it was! I thought that the amount of cilantro was going to make it overpowering, but it was just right. I would add another chili pepper because I couldn't taste it at all (but I had substituted a pepper with a slightly sweet taste). I will be gathering flowers from my squash plant for the next few days so I can make this for my family on Thanksgiving!

The taste is unbelievable! The mixture of cilantro and the flowers blend very well together. The chili gives it a spicy flare. Must try it!
