About this Recipe
I know that many people don’t think of soup when they think of summer, but for me, there is no season for this type of dish! I enjoy it all year long, and making soup with vegetables from the garden is just amazing. Pretty much any veggies here will be delicious, but I especially like this combination of courgettes and leek.
It’s also obviously a great and comforting choice on colder days.
