This soup came about due to the abundance of radish greens we had from our garden.  It is full of Vitamins A, Vitamins C and Calcium!  You get a lot of bang for your buck with this tasty green soup!  This soup comes together quickly and is perfect for a weeknight meal if your radish greens are already nice and rinsed well.
