I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of walnuts in this recipe. It turned out great!

This soup is really good, but it's a little too sour for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little less lemon juice next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I think I might have added too much water.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover yogurt. I also like to add a little bit of chopped cucumber and dill to it.
