Serves 6.

    Share

    If green is the colour of well-being, then this soup is a health bomb. Roasting the vegetables serves to infuse each spoonful with smoky flavour, beans add body, feta offers salty richness, and microgreens provide a sense of spring freshness. Other little greens such as mustard, arugula, clover, and radish will also be most welcomed in this blend.

    Placing vegetables directly on a hot pan encourages them to immediately start roasting for better browning, and that equals more yum.
