Reading Time:

This spring vegetable soup can be made to use up any leftover produce in the fridge; or it is perfect after an over-indulgent trip to the farmer’s market. After the base (stock, onions, leeks and garlic) is made, any vegetables can be used in this soup, making it a light and versatile rainbow of colors. We finished it with a dab of hot chili sauce to give it a nice kick.

Spring Vegetable Soup Ingredients (Serves 6)
