Servings are set as an appetizer, but I make this to serve my family for dinner. Add some toasted garlic bread or a dinner roll and you are good to go to serve 4 for dinner or lunch.

This sounds like a unique soup, great for a hot summer's day! It was the jicama that caught my eye, and makes it so unique! Thanks for a wonderful post, Princesa :)
