green vegetable soup

2015-01-29

This was a bit unusual for me. I don’t often make green soup from that many different green vegetables. It was a lot easier when I still had my vegetable garden and could just pull them and bring them in. They might not have looked as nice as the store-bought stuff, but they always tasted great.
