This is a strongly flavored, sweet-tart appetizer soup -- redolent of warm harvests and autumn weather, a perfect start to a meal of roast pork or duck and roasted vegetables. The yogurt stirred in at the end creates a wonderful contrast of color and flavor. This soup is excellent piping hot -- and also chilled.
