I eat radishes all the time, when I was younger my grandma used to grow them in the garden. I am a vegan now but I used to love putting radishes on rye bread with butter and a little bit of salt on top. It is soo good!
I’ve always loved them too!
The radish soup looks simple and easy! I’m not sure I’m a fan of radish, but I definitely will try this soup with a vegetable broth. It fits in so well with the diet plan I’m doing. And its just looks so… easy!
It is easy! I hope you love it!!
