Fresh Vegetable Soup With Lime

By

This new soup recipe is fresh tasting and full of flavor, kicked up with spicy green chilies and a generous squeeze of lime.

Sometimes I crave a lighter, leaner soup chock full of fresh vegetables and laced with citrus. I added plenty of hot red pepper flakes to jazz it up, too. Sometimes a gluten-free goddess just needs to spice things up a little, vegan style. Bland is so old school.
