We here in Johnstown are on the Old Calendar. So our Dormition Fast just began this week. That said, we, Orthodox fast about 250 days out of the year, so another recipe won't hurt. This soup is completely fastworthy, delicious, and hearty enough to make a nice supper on a cool night with some bread. All of my children, including picky D., ate everything. Its taste profile is similar to my all time favorite soup, Mulligatawny. It a great way to use up that garden abundance that seems to be coming on strong right now.
