There’s something exhilarating about eating bright colored foods. Don’t you agree? Don’t get me wrong, I adore a nice lentil stew or brown rice, but what really gets me to a happy place is when I feel like I’m eating the rainbow. This super greens soup is bursting with spring flavor and freshness- leeks, broccoli, peas, parsley and spinach are a killer combo, and the crispiness of the chickpeas make this a well rounded dish.
