Watercress Soup

This is a light refreshing watercress soup that is so easy to make and is packed with immunity boosting nutrients. Really simple soup yet amazingly tasty!

I love greens soup. This is a light watercress broth soup that is so easy to make. You could add carrots and mushrooms to it if you are having this on its own.

You can also use vegetable broth instead of water for more flavour, otherwise browning the onions and garlic is what gives this soup its flavour profile. Though really simple, this soup is amazingly tasty.

Here’s the recipe for the Watercress Soup that I had as part of yesterday’s dinner.
