To be honest I didn't hold much hope for this recipe and the combo of ingredients, but it was actually a delicious and well balanced soup. A perfect summer soup!
Everybody in my family raved about this soup. I used basil instead of mint because that's what I happened to have on hand. Used a can of butter beans & a can of cannellini (rinsed) DELICIOUS, will definitely be making this again & again.
Really good! A delicious and fresh summer soup.
surprisingly delicious and light but satisfying.
I added cooked quinoa at the end. Good, filling, easy and fast to make.
