Speedy Spiced Sunshine Soup image

I attended a cooking demonstration by Lisa Brink of Hod Hasharon. Lisa has her own cooking blog, www.deliciouskitchen.weebly.com, and has some wonderful ideas about cooking and presentation. This recipe comes from her Take Five class, recipes which contain five main ingredients and/or take five minites to prepare. I found this soup to be absolutely delicious and have already made up a batch for my family.
