This Spring Greens Soup is full of leafy green veg which will do you the world of good! Scroll down for the recipe.
I must admit, since discovering just how easy it is to blitz together a load of veggies to create an awesome, low calorie dinner, I can't stop making soups. Spring Greens Soup is exactly what it sounds like - a selection of luscious green vegetables, blitzed together to form a delicious and healthy soup.
Since starting my career, I've really struggled to come up with enough quick healthy recipes to keep Jon and I happy. They say variety is the spice of life so is it really any surprise that we got bored with stir frys so quickly? Now I know stir-frys aren't the most adventurous thing that a food blogger could be cooking when getting in from work. But, when you are working the kind of hours I work its all too easy to get stuck in the comfort zone cooking the same thing over and over again. It happens to the best of us!
I'd also always presumed that for vegetables to taste their best they needed a long roast in the oven. Some of my favourite recipes involve slow roasting veggies so whilst it is sometimes true that cooking for longer is better, these fresh spring greens don't need any extra cooking time to bring out their vibrant, fresh flavours. Spring greens soup is as quick and easy as it gets.
The recipe
I'm quite lucky that since I've started making more soups from scratch, Jon has been baking his own bread. We served this Spring Greens Soup with a delicious walnut and raisin bread baked by Jon's fair hands. When you make this Spring Greens Soup, what will you serve it with?

Ahhh, spring greens! Hooray for the warmer weather finally! And your soup looks fabulous, especially with the yummy bread!
I'd add maybe some brown rice to the soup since I'm trying to add more fiber to my diet!
Cheers and happy Wednesday !

Thanks Lia. Great idea to ad some rice. If you do, I would recommend watering the soup down a bit as its quite a thick texture otherwise.
