Zucchini Mint Soup
This is a perfect appetizer—it’s light, intense yet refreshing and leaves you wanting more. Add herbs at the end to protects enzymes and phytonutrients. For something a bit heartier, add white cannellini beans to the pot after all the vegetables have softened. Then blend as follows. Serve with a green salad. Yum.
