Today’s recipe is from resident soup expert Serena, aka Seriously Soupy. Serena is known for her soup tours, she has taught soup classes and has a catalogue of over 100 homemade soups.
You can join Serena on her Soupy journey here once a month where she’ll share her wisdom and helping demystify the world of soup.
Here’s what Serena has to say:
Summer is a terrific time to experiment with light and health soups. While smoothies and salads are generally the typical lighter summer fare, soups are also an easy way to get a dose of nutrients while enjoy a hearty and delicious meal.
This week I used some basic ingredients that I had at home including asparagus, onions, garlic, parsley, carrots, tomatoes, and frozen peas to create a soup that was bursting with flavor.
Another bonus to this soup is that it’s easy to prepare and ready in 60 mins or less.
Enjoy!

Hi: I wondered if you have soups with just vegetables? I have cilliac disease and now have 2 different autoimmune diseases on my body and head. So the 2nd disease we believe has to much yeast in my body. Just to explain what I need. My diet will be pretty much veggies and a small amount of meat. I have no idea where to start. I must be careful If you with to much spice as I can not tolerate them. If you have any good ideas where I could start. Thank you for any help you could give me. Julie
