This nourishing green soup is all about flavour with very little effort and contains 70-75g protein per pot! Roasting the veg first adds depth and sweetness, while silken tofu and white beans make it beautifully creamy and protein-rich – no cream needed. Perfect for batch cooking, cosy lunches, or a light dinner with good bread.
