Some people like it pureed more thoroughly, for a smoother soup, while others (like me) prefer to keep it chunkier. We made this at the restaurant one summer and garnished it with a preserved lemon cream: a nut-based sour cream we have on hand mixed with some minced preserved lemon. For an easy complement, add a drizzle of macadamia oil or other oil, or some sliced avocado, or just eat it the way it is, light and very low calorie.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container-97\" class=\"zlrecipe-container-border\" >\n<div id=\"zlrecipe-container\" class=\"serif zlrecipe\">\n  <div class=\"recipeRating\"><div id=\"post-ratings-12280\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"648fb2b921\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_12280_1\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/asweetlife_stars\/rating_on.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(12280, 1, '');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer;
