Zucchini Mint Soup
Thomas J. Story
Chef and Ayurvedic expert Radhi Devlukia-Shetty says of this dish, "If spring were to take the form of a soup, I genuinely believe it would taste like this. I've made this with and without the pistachios, I've made it with and without the fennel. It's a very versatile soup, and you can experiment with whatever veggies you happen to have in your fridge."
