Although it takes some time for preparation this soup provides a full meal and keeps well in the fridge for several days.

Served

This light and creamy soup is surprisingly mild tasting and refreshing. However, it is also very filling. If you like fresh crunchy radishes then this will be a welcome addition to your summer menu.

These two bunches of radishes and greens just lend themselves to cooking and eating. I used all the greens and radishes but only two midsized baking potatoes. The tofu sweet cream provided a smooth consistency to the soup enhancing the mild radish flavor. A total of 6 portions of 2 cups soup each resulted from the big radish bundles.  

Aren’t the radishes affording?

Fillded above the rim with the greens

 

Divided into portions of 2 cups
