Spring green broth
A beautiful seasonal dish, packed full of goodness and flavour. Everything in the soup is growing right now, so don’t wait to make this recipe! It’s a spring green and purple sprouting broccoli soup with orzo. The key to this dish is the spring onions in lemon juice, they add the perfect little burst of flavour when you’re least expecting it! The wild garlic pesto is also just a lovely addition.
