Cook’s Notes

And since the introduction of Covid-19 (Pandemic 2019) now a late summer flu here to stay according to medical science, filling up on green foods is an excellent way to boost your immunity.

The beautiful green color is achieved by pureeing the vegetables and adding coconut milk, giving the soup a smooth and creamy texture.

It is then seasoned with leeks, garlic, ginger and a touch of lemon juice for a burst of tangy flavor.
