Do you have a garden that is full to the brim with goodies and you want something to do with them? Garden Harvest soup will help you out!! Here is a gorgeous soup designed by Amber our daughter, who is 13 years old and Alton Brown to get that harvest onto the table!!
It is choked-full of delicious veggies and vegan!! This soup has a whollop of flavor too!! Just because something is vegan don’t think that it is bland, that is far from the truth. With lots of vegetables and seasonings to add flavor you will never miss the meat in this soup at all. We have vegan or vegetarian at least once a week and love it. Everything in moderation, right?
Amber did want to have some protein in the soup and she loves lentils. It was the perfect addition to give that added boost of thickness and flavor!!

I love garden soup! Unfortunately not much grows here in Phoenix in August 😉 As soon as it dips below 110F I’m all over this soup! oxox
Noshing with the Nolands says
I don’t know how you do it in that heat Gwen but I guess we get the opposite at -40C, not looking forward to that.
