For the final recipe of our comfort soup series, we are sharing Morgan’s hearty vegan Green Soup. There is so much veggie goodness in this soup, we aren’t sure where she fits it all! Plant-based powerhouses kale, spinach, swiss chard, broccoli and asparagus give this soup its signature colour. Coconut milk ads a delicious creaminess. Kermit may not think it’s ‘easy being green’ but we sure do. Enjoy!
