Chilled Summer Vegetable Soup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once Summer rolls around and we’re surrounded by the hot, humid weather this season brings, we find that we’re more in the mood for a light, fresh dish that can either be served as the main course, or as a side. With this is mind, Chef Akshay created a delicious Chilled Summer Vegetable Soup which, as always, is made with by seasonal, locally-sourced produce to ensure maximum freshness! Scroll down for the full recipe and if you have any questions or feedback, visit the Facebook or Instagram posts (@onekingwest) to leave a comment. #StayHomeWithOneKingWest<\/p>\n\n\n\n
