Creamy Garden Soup

Recipe Creator ,Chef Taffiny Elrod
Here’s a great way to add some greens to your day. This is a mix and match recipe, so you can use your favorite greens and herbs to make it your own. Get creative and have fun with it. Cook up a different garden soup every time you make it. It’s a great way to use up small amounts of fresh greens, herbs and broth leftover in the fridge. For instance, I used chicken broth, arugula, parsley, dried dill and lemon juice for the soup pictured here, but you could use vegetable broth, baby spinach, fresh cilantro, dried basil and a dash of your favorite hot sauce for a completely different creation.
