Review for Cilantro and Squash Flower Soup

By Lisa on 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!
