Root vegetables are great for making soup, since they have so many different flavors. I like blending all the mashed veggies together to create a creamy thick texture.

I encourage you to welcome the spring season and top this soup with a small green salad or some dill and pumpkin seeds, as suggested in the recipe below. This green addition is not only aesthetic, it also adds delicious taste and crunch.
