White beans and fresh vegetables in a bowl of soup are perfect for summer. I love the flavor of this soup; it tastes like it took a while to make; however, it is super quick and easy. Serve with some crusty bread, and you have perfection in a bowl.
During the summer we do a lot of grilling. I don’t eat meat and so the soup is perfect to got with what ever I am making for everyone else out on the grill. Your family will love this soup and you will love the nutrition you are serving.
Make a pantry staple of Orange Cake for dessert. This is a very easy cake that your family will love. The orange flavor is part of the sunshine to brighten your table.
