Soup is always good. As a healthy lunch with vegetables, as an evening snack or even as a light dinner or simple starter. The big advantage of soup is of course that you can always keep it for a few days. A bowl full of green vegetables, a soup with green pesto. That's fun. And another advantage: soup is ready quickly. So if you want to make a simple soup, this hip soup is one that is not difficult to remember. This vegan soup recipe was devised by Sanne van het platform Living the Green Life.
