I used PECANS instead of walnuts, and they were fabulous. This is a very yummy dessert. i served it with ice cream, and it went over extremely well.
Great soup. - I doubled the soup base because it could be very, very thick otherwise. I also used dried herbs, and it turned out very nicely, despite the lack of fresh herbs.
Very flavourful. I suggest that the lemon juice be cut down to 1/4 cup otherwise it is very sour (to my taste). Then increase the balsamic vinegar slightly as well as the olive oil. Really great...with or without the chicken. Great for healthy eating.
I didn't add the raisins, and I decided this time (my second time making it), that the apples needed to be either chopped finer, or grated. I decided to grate them. It was really wonderful. Very tasty and not too sweet.
