GREEN SOUP

[anita_margarita]

I started making this soup out of Anna Thomas's "Love Soup" cookbook and now my husband is completely addicted. I can't say the color is all that attractive, but if you like greens, you will like this. It's easy and fairly quick

This looks good. Thank you for sharing!

Not everyone likes greens, but we love them and try to eat them at least once a week. This recipe makes it easy!

Mmm, I will have to try this out! It looks like a bright pea soup. thanks for the recipe!

Looks good and I would try it, but I have a picky husband that doesn't eat many vegetables. I miss veggies and soups.

Looks great. You can also use asparagus and one waxy potato to thicken it up. It's so good.

Asparagus - yum! Will try this variation when the price goes down.

I've read Love Soup, too; greens you haven't mentioned include leeks (1), bok choy, and wakame (which expands from the dried state to create a lot of body at minimal caloric cost, and which I've become fond of adding to soups of all descriptions, not just Japanese and Korean.)

(1) Whose leaves are perfectly edible, despite the cookbooks that tell you to discard them--Welsh people, who claim the leek as their national vegetable, routinely eat the greens.

Sort of like how they tell you to just use the white part of the scallions. Nonsense!
