Vegetable soup
I make vegetable soup all year round, but I like to prepare it mostly during the summer, because then I can make it from fresh vegetables. The vegetables I use most often in vegetable soups are carrot, parsley, cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes, green beans and green peas. Any vegetable I have available at home usually ends up in this soup. I flavour the vegetable soup with cream and serve it with fresh herbs such as dill, parsley or chives.

Good to know when making vegetable soup.
You don’t have to stick to the exact measurements of the ingredients. The weight of the vegetables in this recipe was measured after peeling them.
When making this soup, you can select both fresh or frozen green beans. It can be green beans, yellow beans, or a mixture of both.
