Seven Herb Soup

Ever on the search for delicious new soup recipes to try, I happened upon this tasty Seven Herb Soup, and a neat bit of history. Food is so much about different culture and I find it fascinating to learn about some of the traditions surrounding our meals.

This green soup is actually of German origin and is traditionally served on the Thursday before Easter when only a single vegetarian meal was supposed to be eaten. Interesting to note that Holy Thursday is still referred to as Green Thursday today. Coincidence?

Regardless of your culture, or views this soup is a delightful blend of health packed herbs and vegetables perfect for any time of the year, and it only takes about an hour to make! You can also tailor it a bit to your own preference by substatuting ingredients if your so inclined. Garnish with Organic Croutons, or more herbs.
