If you are looking for a quick but nutrientpacked meal, this is one of our family’s favorites. It takes only a few minutes to put everything into a blender and is a meal with minimal cleanup. You can use this method with any of your favorite vegetable combinations. It can be heated up on the stove, blended until hot, or enjoyed as a cold soup.
