Healthy, hearty, vegetarian, and delicious – this dish also happens to be the perfect celebration of fall and the arrival of winter.
On those days when summer is officially over and the fall has arrived – even though it means that the winter is not too far away, I can’t help but enjoying the beautiful colors of nature. Leaves are turning red and orange and combined with the skyline it is simply breathtaking sometimes. Evenings are getting cooler and the craving for a cold salad is now replaced with a craving for a nice warm soup.
The great thing about this soup is not only that it’s healthy and vegetarian; it’s also tasty and easy on the stomach. Even though it contains potatoes, which traditionally would make it a bit “heavier” the garlic and lemon in it give it a lighter taste and a very refreshing flavor.
