The zucchini and tomatoes are coming on fast and it’s time to put them to use in this tasty summer soup. This is an easy-to-modify soup for vegetarians and vegans- just leave out the sausage.
I love soup in the summer. I make a big pot of soup at the beginning of the week and grab a bowlful whenever I get ‘snacky’, pairing it with a slice of bread or a handful of tortilla chips. This soup makes a great lunch or light dinner.
I call for radish and broccoli microgreens in this recipe but feel free to substitute the Super Booster (brassica mix), or other small-seed microgreens. Sorrel gives this a very refreshing taste, while shiso gives it a savory, unique flavor. Each bowl you eat can have new microgreen highlights- take chances, discover new tastes!
