Description

My Simple Spring Vegetable Soup is a fresh, comforting dish full of vibrant seasonal vegetables. Perfect for cozy spring lunches or family dinners, it’s light, nourishing, and easy to make. Sautéed onions and garlic build a flavorful base, followed by tender carrots, potatoes, zucchini, peas, and asparagus simmered in a fragrant vegetable broth with thyme and oregano. Brightened with lemon juice and fresh parsley, this soup brings warmth, freshness, and love to every spoonful.
