What a cool recipe! I really like radishes and am always looking for new ways to jazz them up. Does this recipe mean the usual red radishes? I hope so, those are the only ones that our local grocery store stocks, and I'd like to try this recipe out one day

yep, the red ones.
i too am a radish fan................ since i've been on south beach, i utilize them in leiu of potatoes in pot roasts, boiled dinners, etc.
i still put potaoes in, don't get me wrong; but i throw in a bag of radishes for ME!
LT

ps- first time i attempted this, my first impression was "ugh!, what a smell!"

but don't fret- this soup is a knockout for a soup course; a little thin for a main course, tho'
