Chef's Tips

For a creamier soup, add a can of full-fat coconut milk before blending.

Adjust the amount of greens based on your preference.

You can add other vegetables like celery, green beans, or asparagus.

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For extra flavor, sauté the vegetables with a pinch of cumin or coriander.

If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.

"A lighter take on the classic Eton Mess provides a touch of sweetness and textural contrast without being overly heavy after a light meal. Using Greek yogurt instead of cream keeps it healthier, and the honey-lime drizzle adds a zingy citrus note that harmonizes with the overall fresh and vibrant flavors of the soup and starter."
