Creamy yet light. Cold and refreshing. This one’s inspired by my mother-in-law who was just over for a visit and LOVES cold soup on a hot summer’s day. Hey, and green is one of her favorite colors! Not only is my version delicious, healthy and satisfyingāĀ itās as easy as can be. No need to turn on a stove or oven, this
