As the days get cooler, there’s nothing like a soul-warming bowl of veggie soup to warm you from the inside out.

Did you know that frozen veggies are just as nutritious as they are fresh? They’re usually harvested in peak season and then snap frozen to ensure they retain their optimal nutrient content. ⁠

I love that this recipe is so easy and flexible – it’s the perfect way to use up those extra veggies in my freezer! This one-pan vegetarian soup features my favourite cruciferous greens simmered in a rich veggie stock for a nourishing hug in a bowl.

Serve with toasted sourdough and parmesan cheese to soak up all the flavour!

Enjoy,
