recipe originally published March 24, 2011
While we are experiencing brighter and longer days, they are still a bit cold.
Cool weather = warm soup. Even on warmer days - this soup works.
This soup has another layer of warmth with the hint of peppers. A dreamy creamy consistency that needs no dairy. A vibrant green that says whole foods and fresh greens.
Enjoy!
