  1. Tulips are always so pretty and colourful. The soup looks thick and delicious, and all healthy ingredients. I love broccoli too.

  3. I would love and enjoy this soup. Too bad my hubby won't have any of it because of the herbs in it.

  4. Tulips are a sure sign that spring is in the air. I just wish that the blooms lasted longer. Have a blessed day.

  7. You and I were on the same page with flowers today. Good for us. Beautiful.

    Okay you lost me with this soup. It's green and I'm not eating green soup. Split pea soup came to mind and I didn't like that one bit.

    Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Big hug to you both and lots of scritches to Miss Lucy. ♥

  15. Printed! That sounds absolutely delicious! Thank you.

    I love letter X posts! Always such variety.
    It's hard to believe the alphabet part of the blogging challenge is over for 2021. Down to the after survey, reflections, and the "road trip" sign-up.
    Plus, I'm taking part in the Bout of Books read-a-thon in May. So much excitement!

  16. This recipe is full of xcellent antioxidants and sounds super healthy! I like spinach quite but in a soup, I don't know. I'm not oppose to trying it, though. Let me know when you fix a big pot and I'll bring my spoon and bowl over. :)
