    This soup is so yummy. After receiving my first delivery from Farm House, I created a ‘Green Feast’ for my gym friends. I searched the Farm House recipes that would use the delivered produce and found six that sounded fantastic. The winner of this week’s ‘Green Feast’ is this recipe. One friend went back for seconds, two friends took to-gos home with them and I gave two portions to work friends so that they could enjoy the deliciousness! I will be making this soup again!
