Spring Lemon Herb SoupSpring Lemon Herb Soup

Spring? Are you there? oh wait, no, it can’t be you. It’s snowing. AGAIN.

Nevertheless, I refuse to let snow stand in the way of me and spring. SPRING VIBES all around with this Lemon and Herb Soup. Made with sweet potato, sausage, rice and loads of fresh herbs you can’t help but feel spring in the air. This soup also makes the perfect transition from those snowy cold, by the fireplace days to the warmer, sunshiny, want to spend all of my time outdoors in my garden days. It’s warming and grounding and yet still light and somehow refreshing.

Are you ready to give it a go?

Sometimes I like to veer away from the classic squash soup in the winter- even if it is a great way to get in your dose of greens. I find it can get slightly tiresome and by the time spring rolls around I don’t even want to see root vegetables!  So having a few other soup options up your sleeve is ideal and that is where this recipe comes in. Are you ready to give it a go?
