Subject: Soup for Christmas Dinner

I am looking for a soup to make before a Christmas dinner. I need a soup
which would go well with a traditional turkey dinner, is not too heavy but
provides a delicious and preferably a little different start to the
dinner. Thanks>

This is a light soup but has a wonderful flavor to it.
