Finnish summer soup is traditionally very mild in flavor letting the beautiful summer vegetables shine. You can also spice the soup a little bit with Foodin mild curry and Provence herbs without overpowering the delicious new potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, broccolini, beans and peas. Make the soup creamy with Foodin coconut milk and try flavorful dry roasted spiced cashews as a topping.
