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.
