This soup has a mixed reputation – Nevertheless, the best of the summer

Summer soup is a tribute to domestic vegetables.

If you want, you can serve spinach-cauliflower puree with the summer soup. Roni Lehti

Despite its wonderful taste, summer soup divides opinions. It is loved and hated.

Despite the doubts, it’s worth giving summer soup a chance, after all, it’s the best soup of the summer.

This soup by chef Risto Mikkola has a familiar summer soup base, but a puree made of shredded spinach and cauliflower adds variety. The soup gets a beautiful green color when pureed spinach and cauliflower are mixed into it.

Mikkola wanted rye bread, which is often served as an addition to soup, to the dish, but in a new way. Rye breadsticks were born from that idea.
