This winter, I have been cooking a big pot of soup almost every weekend. Soup is so comforting in the winter and it is such a great way to eat lots of veggies! Soup is so versatile, you can serve it to your guests as an appetizer, bring it to work for lunch or warm it up in the evening for a quick and light supper.
Do you love pesto? Well, the green soup that I created this week has the delicious taste of pesto, without all the oil and cheese! Here is my recipe for a delicious cream of brocoli, sweet potato and basil that is extra creamy due to the pine nuts! And those hints of pesto are just so yummy!
Stay tuned as I will be sharing more delicious soup recipes in the coming weeks. What about you, do you eat lots of soup in the winter and what is your favourite winter soup?
