Spring soup recipes
PSA: soup is great in springtime too! As the days warm and evenings get lighter, a spring soup is an ideal opportunity to make the most of vibrant greens like asparagus and wild garlic, as well as morel mushrooms. Or, serve a lighter but full-of-flavour broth. Make-ahead as a starter, or to have as a ready-made lunch with a chunk of good bread.
