Loved this soup - the Thai Gremolata is a great finishing touch. I added 1/2 tsp each ground ginger and cinnamon. Easy and delicious, a definite keeper that I'll make often.

This soup is so good! We love it. I made it with butternut squash and a local winter squash and both were equally good. The gremolata is the perfect finish. Delicious!!

This is amazing! WITH the gremolata! Without it, we found it bland, missing something, but with it---WOW! Perfect! And super easy to make.
