A light and refreshing soup perfect for any meal.
We are into spring now in Australia and even though I’ve thrown most of my winter clothes into storage the temperature on some days is still cold enough that a quick, easy and delicious soup like this one is just whats needed.
Green vegetables as I mentioned in my take anywhere, add anything green smoothie are the Rolls Royce of vegetables.  And this soup is packed with them giving you all the nutrition, minerals, fats and flavour!
